At least two Pennsylvania residents, a registered Democrat and an unaffiliated voter, received $100 checks from Elon Musk’s America PAC despite not signing the associated petition. The checks, bearing a return address from Austin, Texas, and signed by a “Todd Lewis,” raise questions about the PAC’s practices. While some petition signers await their payments, the recipients who did not sign the petition have refused to cash the checks, citing concerns about the unauthorized use of their information. America PAC has not commented on the matter, leaving the legitimacy of the checks unclear.

Elon Musk faces three proposed class-action lawsuits alleging fraud related to his America PAC. The PAC promised voters a chance to win $1 million for signing a petition, but winners were pre-selected, not chosen randomly. Plaintiffs claim they were duped into providing personal information based on this false promise. Lawsuits argue this constitutes fraud and breach of contract, irrespective of political alignment. Attorneys involved emphasize accountability for Musk’s actions, not partisan politics.

The America PAC has reportedly received suspicious data from canvassers, with evidence that some have spoofed their locations to make it seem like they visited voters’ homes. Data leaks earlier this month revealed that around 24% of door-knocks in Arizona and 25% in Nevada had been marked as “unusual”, indicating they may have been fake. The PAC has spent over $54 million on vendor Blitz Canvassing in these states, which is also working in Michigan and North Carolina.
