Public Citizen filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) today over billionaire Elon Musk’s pledge to award $1 million every day until Election Day to randomly selected registered voters who sign a petition launched by his PAC in seven swing states.
Craig Holman, Government Affairs Lobbyist with Public Citizen, issued the following statement:
“Elon Musk’s $1 million giveaway to registered voters – and only registered voters – in swing states is a not-so-disguised attempt to buy votes and it appears to veer smack dab into violating federal law against paying people to register and vote. Public Citizen is filing a complaint with the Federal Election Commission challenging Musk’s latest denigration of the right to vote freely and fairly.”
