Elon Musk’s America PAC is reportedly offering $47 dollars for every referral to and signature from a Pennsylvania voter on his petition to to support free speech and the Second Amendment. 

The offer is available to residents in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Nevada, Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, and North Carolina and is open until October 21, which is the last day to register to vote in many key swing states.

According to the website of the campaign, the "goal is to get 1 million registered voters in swing states to sign in support of the Constitution, especially freedom of speech and the right to bear arms." Musk has cited free speech and support for the Second Amendment as key reasons for his support for Donald Trump. 

On X, Women for Gun Rights stated that over 10 million gun owners and hunters nationwide are not currently registered to vote. This includes 515,277 Pennsylvanian gun owners and hunters, which was the highest of any of the swing states mentioned in the report. 

According to the Pennsylvania Secretary of State's office, President Biden won the 2020 vote for President in PA by 80,555 votes. 

In an op-ed for the Daily Caller, Katie Baney, Chairman of the Board & Executive Director of the U.S. Concealed Carry Association for Saving Lives Action Fund, wrote that "one sizable voter bloc that can and should significantly impact the elections is law-abiding gun owners" and that "the gap between Second Amendment advocates and detractors is growing wider by the day." Baney also further wrote that the Biden-Harris administration has called for "sweeping bans" on firearms that are the most common choices for home and self-defense.

There are currently 8,785,640 registered voters in Pennsylvania. In 2020 the presidential election in Pennsylvania was decided by 80,555 votes, according to the Pennsylvania Department of State. Pennsylvanians wanting to register can do so now through October 21 online through the Pennsylvania Department of State.
