Jerry Goldfeder was interviewed by Straight Arrow News to discuss whether Elon Musk’s public statement requiring winners to become spokespersons for his petition affects the legality of his daily $1 million lottery for registered voters. “He’s requiring someone to be a registered voter. So either they’re going to register in order to sign the petition or they’re being rewarded for having been registered because those are the only people who can get this money,” said Jerry. “So there’s a direct linkage between registration and the money, and that’s not permitted under the law.”

Jerry also commented on whether it mattered if the winners of the daily lottery had already voted. “The contest, or the ability to get money, is linked to the registration. And that in and of itself is unlawful, irrespective of whether they voted or they’re promising to vote,” he said. “If he only promised money to those people who voted, that would be an additional violation of the law.”
