A federal judge has chosen not to halt a legal case filed against technology magnate Elon Musk and his political organization America PAC, which claims they failed to provide the promised funds to individuals who assisted in gathering signatures for his 2024 presidential campaign petition.

Musk proposed $47, eventually raised to $100, to any voter from a swing state who signed his petition, expressing endorsement of the First and Second Amendments, along with extra compensation for every further voter recruited to join; although it didnโ€™t demand an agreement to vote for President Donald Trump, the lawsuit still led to claims that it functioned as a de facto method of purchasing votes for Trumpโ€™s campaign.

A fresh legal action has been filed by Bobbi Pisor, Anthony Maglietta, Steven Reid, and Jerry Victorious, along with an unnamed John Doe. These individuals reside in seven pivotal battleground states and claim they were not paid the funds they had been assured of receiving.

“Doe, Reid, Pisor, Maglietta, and Victorious state that although they “agreed to the Defendants’ proposals by signing or effectively directing registered voters to sign the Petition,” “the Defendants have not fully compensated them for their signatures and recommendations,”” stated the court.

The accusation specifically states that Doe served as a paid door-to-door organizer for America PAC, and although he received payment for his canvassing work, he claims he generated approximately $20,000 in petition referrals which went uncompensated, resulting in “substantial emotional and physical stress” and “harm to his credit.”

U.S. District Court Chief Judge Wendy Beetlestone from the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, where the lawsuit originated, rejected Musk and America PAC’s request to drop the case, but did dismiss the charges related to another organization, Group America.

The America PAC was instrumental in supporting Trump’s campaign, despite facing further controversy and legal issues concerning the chaotic management and mistreatment of its staff.

A
class-action suit
submitted during the week prior to the election claimed that America PAC offered volunteers an hourly rate but later informed them they would receive payment depending on how many door-to-door contacts they made, while warning that travel costs would not be covered unless they met extremely high targets.
