Overview
Elon Musk's America PAC launched a $1 million daily lottery for registered swing state voters supporting a petition for the First and Second Amendments. However, the DOJ warned that such payments may violate federal law prohibiting cash incentives for voter registration. Legal experts debate the legality of Musk's actions, questioning whether they effectively circumvent laws against vote-buying. Despite the controversies, Musk continues to promote the lottery, which has already awarded several checks, yet did not announce any winner recently, hinting at possible compliance issues. Investigations by the DOJ and FEC could unfold in the upcoming weeks.
