Colby Cosh: Elon Musk's get-out-the-vote gamble
On Thursday morning, a judge in Pennsylvania declined to put a stop to the Great Elon Musk Giveaway currently happening in seven American states that are particularly crucial in next week’s national elections. Every day between now and the vote, the zillionaire rocketeer, an unabashed backer of Donald Trump, is giving away million-dollar prizes through his America PAC campaign organization to randomly chosen Americans who sign a petition supporting the First (free speech) and Second (bear arms) Amendments to the United States Constitution. The offer is restricted to registered voters in the states of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, which is looking especially pivotal to Republican (and Democratic) hopes in the Electoral College calculus.
