Elon Musk's America PAC is under scrutiny for allegedly mistreating paid canvassers in Michigan. Reports from WIRED and journalist Jake Lahut indicate that Black canvassers were flown in, driven in the back of a seatless U-Haul van, and threatened with withholding payment for their motel rooms unless they met unrealistic door knock quotas. These workers were part of a get-out-the-vote effort aimed at supporting Donald Trump. Some canvassers were reportedly unaware they were working to elect Trump. The allegations have sparked significant controversy and highlight potential ethical issues within the campaign.
