Lawsuit alleges Musk and his Super PAC are yet to pay out millions to canvasser personnel
In a recent development, a class-action lawsuit has been filed against Elon Musk's America PAC, alleging unpaid wages to canvassers during the 2020 presidential election. The lawsuit, filed under a pseudonym for safety reasons, claims that the organization owes at least $5 million in unpaid referral money to canvassers.
The lawsuit states that America PAC, which mobilised voters in swing states to sign a petition "in support of the Constitution," has failed to pay canvassers in full for their signatures and referrals. Initially, canvassers were offered $47 for each person they successfully convinced to sign the petition, which was later increased to $100. However, numerous canvassers allege that they were not paid the agreed-upon amounts.
The former canvasser, identified as John Doe, is not alone in his frustration. The lawsuit is in communication with numerous other canvassers who share similar grievances about unpaid referrals.
This is not the first time America PAC has been under scrutiny. During the 2020 election, the initiative was accused of being a paid voter registration drive and/or a vote-buying scheme. However, there is no publicly available information or credible reports about a class action lawsuit against Elon Musk for unpaid wages to canvassers during the 2020 presidential election.
America PAC has defended its practices, with spokesperson Andrew Romeo stating that the PAC is committed to paying for legitimate petition signatures. Musk, on the other hand, has pivoted to claim that a referendum on voter ID was the "most important thing" about the elections.
Musk's political involvement has been a topic of controversy. His shameless intrusion into Wisconsin politics involved pouring tens of millions of dollars into the race, all of which can now be declared a complete and utter waste of money, given the recent developments.
As the litigation progresses, it remains to be seen how this will affect Musk's future political ventures. For now, it serves as a stark reminder of the importance of fair labour practices and the potential consequences of political involvement.
