Following the super pac's unveiling, Musk said he would award daily $1 million payouts to randomly-selected voters residing in swing states who signed his petition to "support the Constitutional rights to free speech and bear arms." The giveaway wasn't the first money offer from the billionaire, and many have questioned the payouts' legality under federal law. Others expressed concern about personal data privacy for those entering.

To get around finance laws, Musk has called the lottery winners "America PAC spokespeople" and refers to the six-figure offers as "paychecks," not winnings.

The Justice Department has also warned Musk against further action under the America PAC "lottery." Trump has avoided associating with the lottery, but has called on Musk as an ally.
