A political action committee backed by billionaire Elon Musk is being investigated by the Michigan secretary of state’s office amid efforts to collect voter data.
Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has said he created and helped fund the America PAC, which is supporting former President Donald Trump. Musk has a net worth of over $225 billion, according to Forbes.
The committee has been acquiring detailed voter information from those living in Michigan and other battleground states after people submit their personal data through a section on the PAC’s website that says “register to vote.”
After clicking on the “register to vote” tab on America PAC’s website, users in states like Michigan can submit a ZIP code, address and phone number. People with a Michigan address are brought to a page that says “thank you” and asks users to “complete the form below” to help wrap up the voter registration process. As of Sunday afternoon, though, there was no other form to complete below the words “thank you.”
“Every citizen should know exactly how their personal information is being used by PACs, especially if an entity is claiming it will help people register to vote in Michigan or any other state,” a spokeswoman for the Michigan secretary of state’s office said in a statement to CNBC.
“While the America PAC is a federal political action committee, the Department is reviewing their activities to determine if there have been any violations of state law. We will refer potential violations to the Michigan Attorney General’s office as appropriate,” the spokeswoman added.

Who didn’t see this coming?
Ofcourse it’s being investigated because we had a communist takeover in 2020. This is communism. Our once great military rolled over and let it happen and let it happen.
This thread needs a shocked face.
We’ve seen this movie before.
Looks like the Michigan secretary of state hasnt had too much experience
with sophisticated efforts to keep the election honest by collecting voter data.
Definitely not in the same league as the intellectual types. And not even ashamed to admit it.
Lawfare.
Totalitarian banana 🍌 republic stuff.
Make political activity of opposition illegal.
I’m sure this corrupt Sec of State will be going after Act Blue next. Damocrats love to weaponize the government against their opponents
They may have poked the wrong bear.
Of course
Fixed it.
What can be wrong with people registering for vote?
Does it means that Michigan practices widespread voter disenfranchisement?

s reviewing their activities to determine if there have been any violations of state law.

With hundreds of thousands laws on book, they will likely found some.
Hard to disagree. Everyone folded in 2020 and everyone folded in 2022 Az (totally despicable). Everyone will fold in 2024. The right expects God to come and fix everything and until that happens they will sit on their hands. Faith without works is dead.
I’m sure they will launch an immediate parallel investigation of Zuckerbucks.
Elon pull all your business from Michigan.
Elon is going to build a billion robots and use artificial intelligence to train them to recognize liberals and sort them into garbage bins where they belong.
And I for one support his efforts.
Not at all shocking...
Our communist maters know they have complete control and plan to exert it in every aspect of political life...
The communists are buoyed by the seeming indifference of the American peons to any addition of new links in the tyrannical chains around our collective necks...
Anyone who doesn’t, at this point, start planning for large-scale massacres and interment camps will probably be gone, one way or another, by this time next year if the American Communist Party retains control of the WH...
Lawfare. Doing unto Republicans for the crimes they let democrats get away with.
