It's pretty desperate. Basically asking his followers to identify swing state voters for $47. It's arguably not illegal as he's made it about supporting the constitution. Clearly a front for vote harvesting and am sure a lawsuit will follow but now is the time to pull these stunts.
Are there any tweets left to read after you did that? :)

Usually, the ultra-rich stay out of the limelight and we very rarely get to see what are their ultimate means. With this, everybody gets to see how this all works and with Trump’s recent mention of him going off to meet Mr Murdoch, you can actually see who runs these countries.WHAT ELON MUSK REALLY WANTS
The Tesla and X mogul has long dreamed of redesigning the world in his own extreme image. Trump may be his Trojan horse.
OCTOBER 19, 2024
In Elon Musk’s vision of human history, Donald Trump is the singularity. If Musk can propel Trump back to the White House, it will mark the moment that his own superintelligence merges with the most powerful apparatus on the planet, the American government—not to mention the business opportunity of the century.
Many other titans of Silicon Valley have tethered themselves to Trump. But Musk is the one poised to live out the ultimate techno-authoritarian fantasy. With his influence, he stands to capture the state, not just to enrich himself. His entanglement with Trump will be an Ayn Rand novel sprung to life, because Trump has explicitly invited Musk into the government to play the role of the master engineer, who redesigns the American state—and therefore American life—in his own image.
Musk’s pursuit of this dream clearly transcends billionaire hobbyism. Consider the personal attention and financial resources that he is pouring into the former president’s campaign. According to The New York Times, Musk has relocated to Pennsylvania to oversee Trump’s ground game there. That is, he’s running the infrastructure that will bring voters to the polls. In service of this cause, he’s imported top talent from his companies, and he reportedly plans on spending $500 million on it. That doesn’t begin to account for the value of Musk’s celebrity shilling, and the way he has turned X into an informal organ of the campaign.
What Elon Musk Really Wants
Why is Elon Musk really all in for Trump? The mogul has long dreamed of redesigning the world to achieve his techno-authoritarian dreams. As @FranklinFoer writes, Trump is just the perfect Trojan horse:

And he has been for some time by all credible accounts. A widely held theory regarding Musk’s acquisition and “management” of Twitter posits that Putin wanted the platform as an uncensored, friendly misinformation channel.Elon Musk has been in regular contact with Putin for two years, says report
Alleged talks between billionaire and Russian president could have enormous security implications
Elon Musk is a Putinite asset and security risk to the west.
Or maybe Musk is simply an asshole who hates Dems and is genetically incapable of positive feelings towards others... currying favor with Putin is a no-brainer in that case - opening up possible new business ventures with little to no downside.
