Elon Musk’s PAC Misleads Voters With Fake Registration Help, Collects Personal Data Instead

Elon Musk, Tesla CEO and owner of the social media platform X, revealed his creation of the America PAC, a super PAC designed to bolster Trump’s campaign

A website claiming to help users register to vote turns out to be a data collection scheme orchestrated by Elon Musk’s political action committee (PAC), aimed at aiding the Republican presidential nominee, Donald Trump, against Vice President Kamala Harris. While users from non-competitive states like California and Wyoming are directed to voter registration pages, those from battleground states like Pennsylvania and Georgia face a different experience, according to CNBC.

Instead of being guided to their state’s voter registration page, users in key states are prompted to fill out a detailed form asking for their address, cell phone number, and age. Even after providing this information, they are not directed to a registration page but rather a “thank you” page, leaving them unregistered and their personal data in the hands of a political operation.

The America PAC has spent over $800,000 since early July on digital ads targeting voters in key battleground states, including Arizona, Michigan, Georgia, North Carolina, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, as reported by AdImpact.
