The Justice Department has addressed concerns raised about Elon Musk’s political action committee, warning that his offer of $1 million to signatories of a petition to register to vote in swing states may violate federal law. Critics have questioned whether this offer circumvents the prohibition against paying people to register to vote. The PAC, which has supported Donald Trump’s campaign, is under scrutiny for potentially violating election-related laws.
The warning from the Justice Department comes as the presidential race intensifies, with both sides ramping up their efforts to secure votes. Musk’s actions are just the latest in a series of controversial activities surrounding the election, including Russian and Chinese efforts to undermine candidates and violence incited by political rhetoric.
In related news, former White House chief of staff John Kelly has spoken out against Trump, calling him a dictator in the making. Kelly’s comments have drawn support from other former aides, including John Bolton, who have warned of the dangers of Trump’s authoritarian tendencies. The upcoming election is shaping up to be a crucial moment for democracy in America, with the stakes higher than ever.
