President Joe Biden expressed his disapproval of Elon Musk's $1 million giveaways to registered voters in swing states during a recent press conference. While Biden made a light-hearted comment about being registered himself to potentially win the prize, he later stated that he found the conduct to be 'totally inappropriate.'
When questioned about the legality of Musk's actions and whether they constituted election interference, Biden refrained from making a definitive statement. However, he emphasized his belief that the giveaways were not in line with appropriate behavior.
The Justice Department has reportedly cautioned Musk's America PAC that the $1 million sweepstakes targeting registered voters in swing states could potentially violate federal law. Musk, a vocal supporter of former President Donald Trump, has been actively backing Trump's candidacy with significant financial contributions.
Elon Musk's political action committee has been promoting the $1 million prize as part of an initiative to boost voter registrations in crucial battleground states. The controversy surrounding these giveaways has sparked debate over the ethical implications of using monetary incentives to influence voter behavior.
