Musk's election PAC sued over alleged failure to pay $100 to petition signers

  • In May 2025, a federal lawsuit was filed on behalf of voters in swing states accusing Elon Musk's America PAC of not paying individuals who signed and referred others to a political petition.
  • The lawsuit stems from a promise Musk made during the 2024 election cycle to pay $47 to $100 for petition signatures and referrals, which plaintiffs say was not honored.
  • Three initial claimants residing in Pennsylvania, Nevada, and Georgia assert they have not received payment despite relying on America PAC’s promise, while the organization maintains it compensates all valid petition signers and canvassers.
  • The legal action estimates more than 100 class members are owed over $5 million, with Musk previously offering daily $1 million giveaways linked to the petition effort.
  • If upheld, the lawsuit could expand scrutiny of America PAC's payment practices and impact compliance with election laws amid ongoing calls for Justice Department investigation.
