The Philadelphia District Attorney's Office has filed a lawsuit against a political action committee (PAC) controlled by billionaire Elon Musk. The lawsuit seeks to stop the PAC from awarding $1 million to registered U.S. voters in battleground states.
The PAC, known as America PAC, is backing Republican former President Donald Trump. The lawsuit alleges that the PAC's giveaways may violate federal law.
The Justice Department has sent a letter to America PAC warning that the giveaways may violate federal law. The letter cites people briefed on the matter.
Pennsylvania is one of the swing states where the presidential election between Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, a Democrat, is set to be decided. The lawsuit alleges that the PAC's giveaways could influence the outcome of the election.
A spokesperson for the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office did not immediately respond to a request for comment. A spokesperson for America PAC sent a link to the group's latest post on X, which was published after news of the lawsuit. The post identified a Michigan resident who received the $1 million prize and said additional awards would be handed out every day until the November 5 election.
