The Justice Department has “warned” Elon Musk’s America PAC, his pro-Trump political action committee, that it “may” be violating federal law by giving away $1 million to registered voters.

“A letter from the Justice Department’s public integrity section, which investigates potential election-related law violations, went to Musk’s political action committee, according to people briefed on the matter,” the outlet wrote.

Musk recently started offering $1 million per day to registered voters who sign a petition to support the First and Second Amendments. The petition targets voters in six swing states — Arizona, Nevada, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina and Wisconsin. Republican, Democratic and Independent voters are all eligible to win, Musk said, as long as they’re registered.
