Another legal issue to toss into the pile that he'll just ignore.
It seems that the Justice Department is exploring the legality of Elon Musk’s gambit to give away a million dollars every day to registered voters who sign a petition in supporting of the First and Second Amendments.The controversial Mr. Beast-style giveaway has drawn criticism from experts who say that the giveaway constitutes illegal vote-buying. In the U.S., it is illegal to pay someone to vote, not vote, or register to vote.
“We are aware of nothing like this in modern political history,” the complaint reads, in reference to Musk’s payments. “We urge you to investigate whether America PAC’s payments are prohibited payments for voter registration. We recognize that they are framed as payments for signing a petition, or for referring voters who sign. But many of the payments are restricted to registered voters, so anyone who wishes to get paid must first register.
