Michigan Officials Open Probe Into Elon Musk’s Pro-Trump PAC
The Michigan secretary of state’s office opened an investigation over the weekend into a political action committee created and partially funded by Elon Musk.
The America PAC, which supports former president Donald Trump, has been collecting voter data from residents of battleground states, including Michigan—a potential violation of state law, according to authorities.
“Every citizen should know exactly how their personal information is being used by PACs, especially if an entity is claiming it will help people register to vote in Michigan or any other state,” a spokeswoman for the Michigan secretary of state’s office said in a statement to CNBC.
