A political action committee (PAC) backed by billionaire Elon Musk is under investigation by the Michigan Secretary of State's office for potential violations of state laws. The investigation, led by Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, focuses on allegations that the PAC, known as America PAC, improperly collected voter data. The PAC, which supports former President Donald Trump, has come under scrutiny for its data collection methods, including a potentially misleading 'Register to vote' section on its website. This investigation, initiated over the weekend, raises concerns about the legality of the PAC's data harvesting practices in battleground states.
