Elon Musk’s $1 million giveaway for voters who sign his free-speech and gun-rights petition falls into a gray area of election law.

Legal experts are divided on whether the giveaway violates federal laws that make it a crime to pay or offer to pay a person to register to vote.

The billionaire supporter of Donald Trump could be running afoul of prohibitions on paying people to register.
