Musk-backed PAC under investigation in Michigan, North Carolina for possible violations

Authorities in Michigan and North Carolina are investigating a political action committee backed by Elon Musk over the group’s data collection methods, multiple outlets reported Monday.

America PAC, which Musk helped found earlier this year, may be violating the states’ laws by collecting address information from users while claiming it is registering them to vote. Both the Michigan secretary of state’s office and the North Carolina State Board of Elections are investigating possible violations, Reuters and CNBC reported.
