(Rightallegiance.com) – Elon Musk’s political action committee (PAC), America PAC, is offering starting wages of $30 an hour for individuals interested in working on increasing voter registration and turnout. The PAC’s website encourages people to “JOIN OUR TEAM” and offers performance-based bonuses in addition to the base pay. This move aligns with Musk’s efforts to promote voter engagement in the upcoming presidential election.
Earlier this summer, Musk endorsed former President Donald Trump for re-election, joining him at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where Trump made a significant appearance following an assassination attempt on July 13 that left him injured. Musk spoke at the rally, emphasizing the importance of the 2024 election and warning the crowd of threats to constitutional rights, including free speech, gun rights, and voting access. He urged supporters to register and vote, and to persistently encourage others to do the same.
Musk’s message to the crowd aligned with the mission of his America PAC, which promotes free speech, free markets, and a merit-based society. America PAC, launched this summer, focuses on increasing voter turnout in key battleground states such as Nevada, Arizona, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and North Carolina, as well as in competitive congressional districts across the country. Federal Election Commission filings show the PAC has already invested $2.4 million in over a dozen congressional races. Musk has pledged to invest approximately $45 million a month into the PAC’s operations.
The PAC’s canvassing initiative, with its starting wage of $30 an hour, far exceeds the federal minimum wage of $7.25. Andrew Kolvet, a spokesperson for Turning Point, acknowledged the significance of this initiative, noting that field operations are essential for converting turnout efforts into votes. The high hourly pay aims to attract motivated individuals, bolstering efforts to make a significant impact on the election.
Musk, who identifies as a historically moderate Democrat, hosted a lengthy conversation with Trump on the X platform in August. During the discussion, Trump addressed issues such as immigration, inflation, the assassination attempt, and his plans if re-elected. Musk’s America PAC continues to position itself as a key player in the 2024 election, focusing on increasing voter engagement and turnout through aggressive canvassing efforts.
Great to see someone who has the money and power to possibly overcome the influence of Souros in our elections
