Billionaire Elon Musk left no doubt about his political leanings earlier this year when he endorsed former President Donald Trump.

However, he recently doubled down on his commitment to reversing Joe Biden's legacy by offering a major pay increase for campaign workers. 

Workers offered $30 per hour plus bonuses

According to Fox News, Musk's America PAC website is offering jobs for those "interested in working on increasing voter registration and voter turnout," with pay starting at $30 per hour.

Those who perform well are said to qualify for bonuses. What's more, an additional $47 will be paid "for each registered voter you refer that signs a petition pledging support for the First and Second Amendments."

America PAC purports to advance the causes of secure borders, safe cities, free speech, sensible spending, self-protection, and a fair justice system.

Fox News noted that Musk touted his support for Trump when he joined the former president at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania this past weekend.

"This is no ordinary election"

"I think it's the most important election of our lifetime. This is no ordinary election," the Social media mogul and SpaceX founder told rally goers on Saturday.

"The other side wants to take away your freedom of speech. They want to take away your right to bear arms… They want to take away your right to vote effectively," he continued.

"And honestly, you want to just be a pest. Just be a pest to everyone. You know, people on the street everywhere," the tech tycoon stressed.

Musk praises Trump for "fist pumping after getting shot"

Musk, who was clad in a black "Make America Great Again" hat, recalled how Trump reacted to almost being assassinated the last time he was in Butler.

"Fight, fight, fight, vote, vote, vote," Musk declared, mimicking the former president's famous words after being shot in the ear by Thomas Matthew Crooks.

"The true test of someone's character is how they behave under fire. We had one president who could not climb a flight of stairs and another who is fist pumping after getting shot," USA Today quoted him as adding.

One social media user remarked, "Elon came out jumping and more energetic than a fully charged Tesla battery. This will go down as the greatest Trump rally in history."

" A free people [claim] their rights, as derived from the laws of nature."
