DOJ Warns Elon Musk Over Election Giveaway

The Biden-Harris Justice Department has issued a warning to Elon Musk's America PAC regarding his $1 million daily giveaway to registered voters in swing states, suggesting it may violate federal election laws that prohibit payment for voter registration. The initiative involves selecting voters who sign a petition supporting the First and Second Amendments, but legal experts are concerned that it could contravene election regulations. Former Republican officials have called for an investigation into the legality of the sweepstakes, noting potential penalties including fines and imprisonment. While the DOJ's letter does not indicate immediate legal actions, it highlights significant concerns about Musk's activities, which some perceive as potentially favoring Republicans. Musk has defended his actions, asserting that participants simply need to support constitutional rights to qualify for the giveaway. The situation has drawn mixed reactions, with some viewing it as an infringement on free speech and others calling for accountability.
