CLC Alleges Musk Used Corporate Shell to Evade Federal Disclosure Rules

On April 29, 2026, Campaign Legal Center (CLC) filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) alleging that “United States of America Inc.” (USAI), a corporate entity controlled by tech billionaire Elon Musk, violated federal campaign finance laws by failing to register, organize and report as a political committee despite triggering political committee status. Specifically, Musk and his super PAC, America PAC, avoided disclosing the recipients of over $81 million in incentive payments — part of a program apparently designed to collect voter data on likely voters for Donald Trump during the 2024 presidential election — by having USAI process these payments. Because USAI made these payments on America PAC’s behalf and appears to have engaged in no other activity, however, it was required to comply with federal requirements for a political committee.
