Original Note:
Elon Musk’s $1M daily offer is a sweepstakes, not gambling. U.S. law defines gambling as involving consideration (a payment), chance, and a prize. Since participants don’t have to pay to sign the petition, this lacks the “consideration” element, making it a legal sweepstakes. https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/prize-offerings-sweepstakes
