There’s a small wrinkle in Elon Musk’s latest gimmick. According to reports, federal authorities issued a letter to Musk this week.
The Lowdown
CNN reports that the letter was in regards to Musk’s so called $1m giveaway (that appears to be bribery.) Musk’s apparent giveaway is part of his America PAC though it is against federal law to give people money in exchange that they be registered to vote.
The notice came in the form of a letter delivered sometime in the last several days to Musk officially.
What went wrong
The gimmick is a part of Musk’s efforts to mobilize the worst of the Republican Party. In the days leading up to the now election, Musk has offered up millions in cash to get people registered. Though according to federal law the move appears to be illegal.
