HARRISBURG (TNS) — Tesla founder Elon Musk announced on his social media platform X on Wednesday that he would be touring Pennsylvania and giving talks at multiple locations through Monday — the deadline for voter registration.

“Tomorrow night through Monday, I will be giving a series of talks throughout Pennsylvania,” Musk wrote. “If you’d like to attend one of my talks, there’s no attendance fee. You just need to have signed our petition supporting free speech & right to bear arms & have voted in this election.”

“To clarify, you need have voted in Pennsylvania,” Musk added.

The pitch: attend my talks and have voted, drew criticism from election law expert Rick Hasen.

On his blog, Hasen responded to Musk’s plan:

“This is likely illegal, because in a federal election one cannot give anything of value in exchange for someone agreeing to turn out to vote. It is not necessary to offer that a person vote for or against a particular candidate. Here is the relevant statute, 18 U.S.C. section 597. Just like one cannot give out free ice cream or car washes or concert tickets, one cannot give out free admission to hear a speech by a tech entrepreneur.”

Musk’s announcement came shortly after campaign finance reports were filed showing he donated $75 million to his pro-Trump PAC, America, to support get-out-the-vote efforts in swing states like Pennsylvania.

Among his goals: hiring canvassers to go door-to-door ahead of Election Day and getting 1 million voters to sign a petition protecting First and Second Amendment rights.
