A political action committee backed by billionaire Elon Musk is being investigated by the Michigan secretary of state's office amid efforts to collect voter data.
Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has said he created and helped fund the America PAC, which is supporting former President Donald Trump.
Musk has a net worth of over $225 billion, according to Forbes.
"While the America PAC is a federal political action committee, the Department is reviewing their activities to determine if there have been any violations of state law.
We will refer potential violations to the Michigan Attorney General's office as appropriate," the spokeswoman added.
Jocelyn Benson, a Democrat, is Michigan's secretary of state and the lead election official in the state.
The Republican National Committee has sued Benson and other Michigan Democrats at least twice this year, according to legal records. »
