Elon Musk and his political action committee, America PAC, have agreed to settle two lawsuits filed in the Western District of Texas. The legal action stemmed from a controversial initiative launched during the 2024 election, in which the PAC awarded $1 million daily to registered voters in key battleground states. Plaintiffs in the lawsuits accused Musk and his organization of engaging in fraudulent activity and deceptive practices regarding the terms and eligibility of the giveaway.

The settlement effectively concludes the litigation that sought to halt the program before the election. While the details of the settlement agreement have not been fully disclosed in public filings, the move brings an end to the court proceedings that questioned whether the sweepstakes violated election laws or misled participants. Musk’s legal team had previously defended the program as a legitimate effort to promote civic engagement and support constitutional causes, specifically the First and Second Amendments. Critics and legal experts had raised concerns that the program functioned as an illegal incentive for voter registration, a claim Musk’s representatives consistently denied throughout the duration of the lawsuits.
