Elon Musk-backed political action committee under investigation for potential legal violations

The tech mogul previously endorsed Donald Trump for the 2024 elections, a not so surprising move considering his ongoing alignment with the former president's vision. He then announced the creation and funding of the America PAC, which supports Trump.

Now as reported by CNBC, Elon Musk's political group in America has been called out for scooping up personal info from people under the guise of voter registration. A recent report revealed that the PAC has been collecting personal data from individuals in Michigan and other states through its website. This has raised concerns about the potential misuse of this sensitive information for political purposes.

"While the America PAC is a federal political action committee, the Department is reviewing its activities to determine if there have been any violations of state law. We will refer potential violations to the Michigan Attorney General's office as appropriate," a Michigan secretary of state’s spokesperson informed the news outlet.
