Second Lawsuit Targets Musk PAC Over Unpaid Petitioners

A second national class action lawsuit has been filed against Elon Musk's America PAC, alleging the group failed to pay swing state voters as promised for signing and referring others to a pro-Trump petition during the 2024 presidential election. Plaintiffs from Pennsylvania, Nevada, and Georgia say payments per signature were initially set at $47 and later raised to $100, with further rewards for referrals, but many participants remain unpaid. One canvasser claims to be owed thousands of dollars, and the suit estimates more than 100 people could be collectively owed over $5 million. Additional lawsuits and complaints have also emerged from other states, highlighting the widespread nature of the dispute. America PAC denies any wrongdoing, stating it has already paid millions to canvassers and remains committed to paying for legitimate signatures. The lawsuits raise broader questions about the legality and ethics of incentivized petition drives in battleground states.
