Michigan’s Democratic Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson is investigating the America PAC, which Elon Musk would be donating millions to, over its methods of collecting data from voters.
“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 Benson’s office said in a statement to CNBC.
“While the America PAC is a federal political action committee, the Department is reviewing their activities to determine if there have been any violations of state law,” they continued.
“We will refer potential violations to the Michigan Attorney General’s office as appropriate.”
America PAC is funded by wealthy tech donors who are supporting Donald Trump‘s presidential campaign.
Over the weekend, Musk explained to podcaster Lex Fridman why he was supporting Trump over leftist Democrat Kamala Harris.
The tech billionaire’s main reasons for supporting Trump are securing the southern border, promoting urban safety and cleanliness, and promoting fiscal responsibility.
“You want someone who is strong and courageous to represent the country,” Musk said.
“It was a choice of Biden… who has trouble climbing a flight of stairs, and the other one is fist-pumping after getting shot. No comparison.”
