The Justice Department has recently cautioned Elon Musk’s America PAC, stating that its $1 million sweepstakes for registered voters in swing states may breach federal law
Musk, a supporter of former President Donald Trump and a major financial backer of his campaign, promoted the $1 million prize through his PAC to boost voter registrations in key battleground states.
The initial offer of monetary rewards for registered voters sparked concerns among election law experts and some state officials, who questioned whether the scheme violated election laws.
The Justice Department’s public integrity section, which handles investigations of potential election law breaches, sent a formal warning letter to Musk’s political action committee, sources said.
