Musk Settles 2024 Voter Fraud Suit Over America PAC Lottery

Elon Musk has agreed to settle two class-action lawsuits alleging that his political action committee, America PAC, defrauded voters during the 2024 US presidential election. The lawsuits, filed by two Arizona residents, claim that Musk’s group misled people into signing petitions by falsely promising a random $1 million daily lottery. In reality, the PAC selected winners from swing states who could serve as public spokespeople. The settlement, filed in an Austin, Texas, federal court, avoids a scheduled deposition for Musk but does not yet disclose financial terms or admissions of liability. Judge Robert Pittman must still approve the agreement.

Musk's America PAC Launches Midterm Push with $800K in Senate Ads

Elon Musk’s super PAC, America PAC, has begun its 2026 midterm spending cycle with over $800,000 in expenditures, primarily targeting competitive Senate races in Texas, Maine, and Ohio. This initial outlay follows a meeting between Musk and House Speaker Mike Johnson and represents a small fraction of the up to $120 million the billionaire reportedly authorized for the cycle. The spending focuses on mail advertising to support Republican incumbents and challengers, marking the first significant financial commitment from Musk’s political operation since his earlier pledge to spend 'a lot less' on politics.

Johnson Meets Musk in Texas as Billionaire Weighs $100M+ Midterm Push

House Speaker Mike Johnson is set to meet with Elon Musk in Texas this Friday, according to four people familiar with the plans. The meeting coincides with reports that Musk is considering spending at least $100 million through his super PAC, America PAC, to support Republican candidates in the 2026 midterms. While the exact allocation of funds remains unclear, some GOP insiders believe Musk may direct resources toward key House battleground races. This potential injection of capital would add to the GOP’s existing financial advantage, as Trump’s MAGA Inc. super PAC holds over $400 million. The meeting comes as Johnson campaigns across Texas, a state where Republicans are facing competitive races, including in the newly created 35th Congressional District.

Judge Approves Musk's $1M Voter Giveaway Amid Legal Scrutiny

A judge has ruled that Elon Musk's America PAC can continue awarding $1 million to voters in swing states, despite allegations of it being an illegal lottery. The recipients are not chosen randomly but are selected by the group, with the final recipient already determined. Philadelphia District Attorney Lawrence Krasner had sued to stop the giveaway, citing potential election law violations. Musk's PAC has been actively campaigning for Donald Trump, and recipients must align with the group's values and serve as spokespeople.
