Billionaire Elon Musk promised on Saturday to give away $1 million each day until November's election to someone who signs his online petition, with the first prize awarded at a PAC event supporting Republican Donald Trump, raising questions about the legality of the payments.

"By the way, John had no idea. So anyway, you're welcome," the Tesla founder said as he handed Dreher the check.
