In Michigan, a Google search could lead to a startling ad featuring a young man receiving a video of an attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, urging him to vote.
The ad directs viewers to the America PAC website, which promises voter registration assistance but collects personal data instead, especially from those in battleground states.
America PAC, backed by Elon Musk, has invested over $800,000 in digital ads targeting key states to gather voter information, which is then used for door-to-door canvassing and other political activities.
Musk’s involvement has drawn scrutiny due to his ownership of the social media platform X and his support for Trump, raising concerns about the use of social media for partisan purposes and the PAC’s coordination with Trump’s campaign.
