DOJ Warning: Elon Musk’s super PAC didn’t announce ‘daily’ lottery winner on Wednesday

Elon Musk’s super PAC didn’t announce a winner for its “daily” $1 million giveaway to registered swing state voters on Wednesday, the same day news broke that the Justice Department warned Musk’s group that its sweepstakes might be illegal.

The pro-Trump group, America PAC, had publicly named a winner every day since Saturday, when Musk announced that he would award $1 million every day to people who sign his petition. The petition is in support of the 1st and 2nd Amendments to the Constitution, but importantly, only registered voters in the battleground states can sign the petition and are therefore eligible for the money.

You tried to pay people to take a shot that happened didn't it?

[alanblevens]

He pays out with his own money, yet the resident and his flunky can promise $25k loans, reparations and forgive millions with taxpayer dollars.

[m.schetr]

I like how people are saying he was paying people to vote. He wasn't it was to see a petition about the Constitution.

[bonnie_batten-johnson]

God forbid that he gives an American citizen the money instead of to a campaign to pay for commercials. Oh. the shame….

[stackchn]

And yet Lizzo just got paid over $2M in campaign cash to show up at a Kamala rally.

[tvan]

I wonder what it's going to look like when WRAL goes off the air

[MP-ixjo]

Your DEI hires misspelled Musk on that byline

[davidvant]

Until George Soros is charged, Elon Musk better not ever be charged.

[Amigmamale]

So giving people money, in a sweepstakes that being a Trump voter isn't even required is bad, but offering forgivable loans(free money) to people based on race and promising over and over again to forgive student debt if you are voted in is fine

[lindamcclenny]

Why won’t journalists ask Kamala WHO will get those so called business loans?

[davidscott]

So bribing people to vote for you promising to pay their school loans is ok.

[DorothySpang]

$$ doesn't anyone remember $$ Zucker Bucks $$ and Soros $$ spare me the BS Outrage-

[brettgreen]

Its only available for people who are ALREADY registered. Read the words of the give away. Jeez.

[MikeyKnows-cq]

What ever happened to Hunter Biden's laptop I guess he walks away a free man so sad 😭

[renaunap]

They are mad they didn't think about it first... But they can pay celebrities and YouTubers and tik tokers??? Please.

[shoshawnacyamos]

It's for those that sign the petition to support the first amendment and second amendment

[floriotj]

He's not paying people to register to vote he's paying them to sign a petition. I would think that Elon checked with his attorneys before offering the prize money.

[daleneLay-hcdo]

It's the same as "if you vote for me, I will give you 25000 loan"

[GaryFeltman]

False accusations! Listen to what he said. It's about the petition, not voting! It's his money, he is free to do whatever he wants with it!

[ThumperT]

Anything for click-bait... y'all are pathetic 🙄
