Biden’s Justice Department tells Elon Musk his $1 million voter giveaways could be illegal

Justice Department officials put tech mogul Elon Musk on notice and warned him that his America PAC may be flouting federal law with its $1 million giveaways to registered voters, according to a report.

The Biden Harris administration’s DOJ’s public integrity section, which oversees electoral law, sent a letter to Musk over recent days informing him that high-dollar incentive to entice swing state voters into signing his petition, might be illegal, CNN reported, citing sources familiar.

Since last Saturday Musk has been doling out prizes to residents in battleground states who sign his petition backing freedom of speech and the right to bear arms. To sign that petition, individuals must be registered to vote.

But federal law restricts prohibits individuals from paying money to get people to register to vote.
