Class action claims Elon Musk broke promise to pay America PAC petition signers in Pennsylvania

Elon Musk petition class action lawsuit overview:

• Who: A John Doe plaintiff filed a class action lawsuit against Elon Musk, America PAC and Group America LLC.
• Why: The plaintiff claims the defendants failed to pay him and others who signed and referred others to sign a petition for America PAC despite promising compensation. 
• Where: The class action lawsuit was filed in Pennsylvania federal court.

A new class action lawsuit alleges that Elon Musk, America PAC and Group America failed to compensate some Pennsylvania voters who were told they would be paid for signing a petition in support of the First and Second Amendments.

Plaintiff John Doe’s class action lawsuit claims Musk, America PAC and Group America failed to pay registered voters in Pennsylvania $47, and later increased to $100, to sign the petition and for each successful referral of a registered voter who signed it.

Doe argues he and other class members accepted the defendants’ offers by signing the petition and successfully referring other registered voters to sign it.

“Defendants have since failed to pay Plaintiff and Class Members in full for their signatures and referrals,” the Elon Musk petition class action states.

Doe wants to represent a class of all persons who were registered to vote in Pennsylvania when they signed the America PAC petition and all persons who successfully referred a Pennsylvania registered voter to sign the petition but did not receive the agreed-upon payments.

Elon Musk class action claims plaintiff not paid $20K for referrals

Doe argues the defendants failed to pay him the full promised amounts for his referrals and that he estimates he is owed at least $20,000 for them.

“Plaintiff has repeatedly contacted Defendants, making multiple attempts to receive full payment for his referrals, but to no avail,” the Elon Musk petition class action explains.

Doe claims the defendants are guilty of breach of contract and promissory estoppel and violated the Pennsylvania Wage Payment and Collection Law.

The plaintiff demands a jury trial and requests declaratory and injunctive relief and an award of compensatory and consequential damages for himself and all class members.

A separate class action lawsuit was filed against Musk and others earlier this year over claims Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency unlawfully accessed federal computers containing the personal and financial information of millions of individuals.
