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.
The committee has been acquiring detailed voter information from those living in Michigan and other battleground states after people submit their personal data through a section on the PAC’s website that says “register to vote.”

If you think he read the fine print before donating money, read up on his purchase of Twitter. The man doesn't read the fine print.
Common mindset in the startup tech world - rules are made to be broken. And it often works. Like Uber.
But whenever startups get into tightly regulated spaces, like medical and finance, they get a wakeup call and are fined (and even jailed) for fucking around and finding out.
Will political donations, with a history of regulations, will they call him out? I'm hoping so.
There's a reason scrum isn't used at nasa for safety-critical systems lol.
Uber is of course a predicate failure. The point was to abuse labor and lock themselves in. It worked for short term profit, for some, for a while. Now it's collapsing.
It's probably hard to read anything when one is rollin' from that line of K you just railed.
