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.

Well of course...more lawfare against enemies of the state.
You are 100 % correct!
Hundreds of thousands of laws is nowhere near enough. That's why you need to vote for "California's Most Prolific Lawmaker." With him in the state legislature, everybody will break TEN laws per day.
Political persecution by the Democrat extremist continues on unabated.
foreign interference is ok elon should have went that route
“reviewing their activities to determine if there have been any violations”
So they got nothing and this article is about nothing.
What they’ve uncovered is that the Michigan Sec of State is ONLY investigating PACS that support Trump.
Where’s the investigation into PACS that support Camel Hairs?
How about a 14th Amendment violation lawsuit against the Michigan Sec of State?
“nor shall any state deprive any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws”
The best way would be for X to announce it will block all activity into and out of Michigan based IP addresses so as not to interfere with the sham investigation.
They may have poked the wrong African-American bear.
