The Department of Justice (DOJ) has issued a warning to Elon Musk's America Super PAC, suggesting that its daily $1 million giveaways to registered voters in swing states may be in violation of federal election laws. According to reports from CNN, the Biden administration’s DOJ public integrity section, which oversees election law, sent a letter to Musk’s PAC outlining concerns over potential legal infractions.

Musk’s America Super PAC has been running a campaign that awards $1 million to random voters in battleground states who sign a petition supporting free speech and the right to bear arms. However, the DOJ raised concerns that offering incentives tied to voter registration could contravene federal laws prohibiting payments to voters in exchange for participation in the electoral process.

The PAC's initiative, which began last Saturday, has already given out multiple $1 million prizes to winners in states like Pennsylvania and North Carolina. Musk’s PAC has also offered additional payments of up to $100 for referrals and petition signings, further raising legal questions. Critics, including former Republican officials, have called for an investigation, citing the possibility that the PAC’s actions may violate U.S. voting regulations.

Although the DOJ's letter did not threaten immediate legal action, it outlined potential penalties for violating federal election laws. Musk has not publicly commented on the DOJ's warning. As Election Day approaches, the situation remains under close scrutiny, with both federal and state authorities being urged to investigate the legality of the PAC’s financial incentives.
