DOJ Warns Musk's PAC on $1M Daily Giveaway

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has issued a warning to Elon Musk's America PAC regarding its $1 million daily giveaway to registered voters in swing states, citing potential violations of federal election law. This initiative requires participants to sign a petition supporting the First and Second Amendments, with critics arguing that it may illegally incentivize voter registration. The DOJ's Public Integrity Section sent a letter suggesting the activity might contravene laws prohibiting payments for voter registration and voting. Despite the warning, the America PAC maintains that the initiative is lawful and continues its daily lotteries. Legal experts are divided on the legality, noting it operates in a 'gray area' but doesn't directly pay individuals to vote. The PAC has announced winners in Pennsylvania and North Carolina and intends to continue until Election Day.
