DOJ warns Elon Musk his $1M giveaway to registered voters may violate federal law
The letter from the Election Crimes Branch of DOJ's Public Integrity Section was sent to Musk's PAC in recent days, according to the source.
Musk announced the lottery-style giveaway over the weekend that he said registered voters in battleground states can enter to support the First and Second Amendments.
While it's unclear whether the department has determined Musk's giveaway is outright illegal, experts have questioned whether the lottery violates federal law that prohibits individuals from paying people to register to vote.
The Justice Department declined to comment to ABC News.
ABC News has reached out to representatives for Musk and Musk's America PAC for comment but did not immediately receive a response.
