Elon Musk’s America PAC Faces Class Action Over Unpaid Petition Payments

A federal judge in Pennsylvania is reviewing a proposed class action alleging America PAC owes over $5 million to petition signers and canvassers.

Overview

  • The lawsuit, filed May 8, 2025, claims Musk’s America PAC failed to pay promised amounts to voters and canvassers in swing states during the 2024 election.
  • Plaintiffs allege breach of contract, with over 100 class members potentially owed more than $5 million for petition signatures and referrals.
  • America PAC initially offered $47 per signature, later increasing it to $100, along with referral bonuses, to boost voter turnout in battleground states.
  • The petition was promoted as a demonstration of support for the First and Second Amendments, with Musk spending $300 million to support Trump’s campaign.
  • America PAC maintains it is committed to paying legitimate claims, citing tens of millions already paid to canvassers, while legal scrutiny over election tactics continues.
