[ [link removed] ]Sign the petition to demand that Elon Musk be investigated for
attempting to bribe voters and buy votes in swing states NOW!
Dear MoveOn member,
I just wanted to make sure that you saw this email. Elon Musk is violating
election laws by using his massive wealth to tip the scales in favor of
Trump, offering $1 million a day through Election Day to voters in swing
states that could decide the outcome of the election.^1
[ [link removed] ]It's illegal, unacceptable, and he must be investigated NOW. Will you
sign the petition?
Momentum and pressure are building: Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro
says that Musk's $1 million giveaway does "raise serious questions" and is
"deeply concerning."^2 Even former Republican lawmakers, Justice
Department officials, and advisers have written a letter asking United
States Attorney General Merrick Garland to investigate Musk.^3
And on Wednesday, news broke that the Department of Justice warned Elon
Musk's PAC that this giveaway may be illegal.^4
[ [link removed] ]This is a good first step, but the Department of Justice needs to take
it one step further by launching an investigation into Elon Musk for
attempting to bribe voters and buy votes in key swing states NOW. Click
here to sign the petition and then send it to three friends to spread the
word.
Thanks for all you do.

Department of Justice must launch an investigation into Elon Musk.

attempting to bribe voters and buy votes in swing states NOW!
Dear MoveOn member,
Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, who has already given more than
$75 MILLION to elect Trump, is offering $1 MILLION a DAY through Election
Day to registered voters in key battleground states like Pennsylvania,
Georgia, Nevada, Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, and North Carolina in
efforts of boosting voter registration in favor of Trump.^5
We won't mince words: This is illegal, a federal crime, and a violation of
election laws.
[ [link removed] ]Will you sign the petition to demand that Elon Musk be swiftly
investigated for attempting to use his massive wealth to bribe voters NOW?
The Justice Department's election crimes manual states that "Paying voters
for registering to vote, or for voting, in elections in which a federal
candidate is on the ballot" is basis for federal prosecution.^6
And as if giving away $1 million a day weren't enough, Musk is also
offering $100 to registered voters in Pennsylvania who sign his pro-Trump
PAC petition, and he had previously offered $47 to any voters in
Pennsylvania, Georgia, Nevada, Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, and North
Carolina who referred their friends to the petition.^7 Let's be clear:
Elon Musk is using his billionaire status to manipulate this election in
favor of Trump. This is a clear violation of election laws, and it is a
federal crime.
[ [link removed] ]John, we can't let him get away with this, especially with
everything that is at stake this election. Will you sign the petition to
demand that Elon Musk be investigated NOW?
Several legal experts and former Department of Justice officials agree
that this is illegal. There is no time to waste. Elon Musk must be
investigated NOW before it's too late.

In 2017, Donald Trump and Republicans passed a law that would give the
ultra wealthy a $2.3 TRILLION tax break.^8 Now, America's 748 billionaires
are worth a collective $5 TRILLION, up 77% in just seven years.^9
Make no mistake about it: Elon Musk knows that if Donald Trump wins, he
and his billionaire buddies will continue to get richer at the expense of
workers, with no accountability. This is why he has gone all in on Trump,
attending Trump rallies and even starting a pro-Trump Super PAC, a
political action committee that can raise an unlimited amount of money
with no restrictions on who donates.^10
Trump himself has publicly shared that he would offer Musk a Cabinet
position, and Elon's already made it clear that he would accept and says
he "can’t wait" to work for a Trump White House.^11 Jacobin reports that
if Trump wins and Elon Musk gets appointed to a Cabinet position, he
"could reap one of the largest personalized tax breaks in American
history.^"12
