WARNING: Elon Musk, the multi-billionaire who owns Tesla and X (the social media site formerly known as “Twitter”) has now set up a Political Action Committee (PAC) that is using X to tell people to visit a website to register to vote.
Musk’s PAC claims that by visiting their website and entering the state you live in, you will be directed to that state’s voter registration site where you can register or update your registration.
DON’T DO IT. IT IS A SCAM. You will be directed to a site that appears to be a voter registration site that will ask for your personal information, will NOT REGISTER YOU TO VOTE, but will result in a torrent of phony emails asking for donations.
The Michigan Attorney General has opened an investigation into this scam and is asking for federal action.
For Virginians, you can use the State Department of Elections website to register or update your registration. Or, better yet, go to your local General Registrar’s office.
