The U.S. Justice Department has expressed concerns over potential legal issues with Elon Musk's Super PAC's recent actions. The billionaire CEO's promise of $1 million giveaways might breach federal election law, according to a letter from the department's public integrity section reported by CNN.

The letter was reportedly directed to the America PAC, associated with Musk and supporting Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. Both the Justice Department and America PAC have so far declined to comment on these developments.

Elon Musk, known for his support of Trump, recently pledged to donate $1 million per day until Election Day to individuals endorsing the U.S. Constitution through his petition drive. As one of the wealthiest individuals globally, Musk has already funneled $75 million into America PAC, underscoring its role in Trump's campaign strategy.
