HARRISBURG, Pennsylvania — Pennsylvania's Democratic governor Josh Shapiro on Sunday (Oct 20) called on law enforcement to investigate billionaire Elon Musk for his promise at a weekend pro-Trump rally to give away US$1 million (S$1.31 million) each day until Election Day.

Musk on Saturday gave a US$1 million cheque to an attendee at the rally in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, which was hosted by America PAC, a political action group the Tesla CEO set up to back Republican Donald Trump in the Nov 5 presidential election.

Shapiro said on NBC's Meet the Press that Musk's plan to give money to registered voters in Pennsylvania is "deeply concerning" and "it's something that law enforcement could take a look at."

The money is the latest example of Musk using his extraordinary wealth to influence the tightly contested presidential race between Trump and his Democratic rival Vice-President Kamala Harris.
