The Department of Justice (DOJ) has issued a warning to Elon Musk’s America PAC, cautioning that its $1 million giveaway to registered voters in battleground states might breach federal election law.

The DOJ’s Election Crimes Branch, part of its Public Integrity Section, reportedly sent a letter addressing the legality of the PAC’s daily cash award, which targets registered voters who sign a petition supporting the First and Second Amendments. Legal experts have voiced concerns, noting that federal laws prohibit financial inducements for voter registration or turnout, a potential issue given the PAC’s focus on key swing states where voter influence could sway electoral outcomes​

America PAC’s approach, which includes a $1 million daily award for signatories, raises specific legal questions since the offer is only available to residents of seven battleground states.

As of now, the DOJ has yet to confirm if formal charges will follow or if recipients might be required to return their winnings. Representatives for Musk and his PAC have not issued a public response to the DOJ’s communication, and the DOJ has declined further comment on its legal stance​.
