The Justice Department has warned Elon Musk that his $1 million daily giveaway to registered voters in swing states, through his political action committee (PAC), may be illegal. This initiative, tied to a petition encouraging signers to back free speech, raises concerns over vote-buying laws. Federal law prohibits offering money or incentives to voters as it can be seen as influencing election outcomes. Since only registered voters are eligible for the giveaway, legal experts suggest it may violate these statutes.The Justice Department has warned Elon Musk that his $1 million daily giveaway to registered voters in swing states, through his political action committee (PAC), may be illegal.
