Washington, October 25 (RHC)-- In the U.S., the consumer advocacy watchdog Public Citizen filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission Wednesday over Elon Musk’s $1 million daily giveaway to swing state voters. 

So far, at least four people — two in Pennsylvania and one in North Carolina — have received checks for $1 million.  The Justice Department has reportedly sent a warning to Elon Musk’s super PAC over the scheme.

Meanwhile, the outlet The Lever reports Elon Musk could benefit from a massive tax benefit if Trump is reelected and appoints Musk to a government position.  Trump has said he will create a new official role for Musk: “Secretary of cost-cutting.”

This comes as a new analysis from the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy finds that Kamala Harris’s tax proposals would overall increase taxes for the top 1% and lower them for everyone else, while Trump’s policies would cut taxes for the wealthiest 5% and raise them for everyone else.
