Per the legal papers, Elon Musk vowed to pay $47 to registered voters who signed the petition in seven battleground states, including Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Later, the investor upped the payments to $100 per person.
However, three individuals who allegedly signed the document in Georgia, Nevada and Pennsylvania, are claiming they never got their money.

"Plaintiffs are in communication with numerous others who referred
voters to sign the America PAC petition, who are likewise frustrated that they did not receive full payments for their referrals," the court documents claim of the lawsuit against Elon Musk.
Plaintiff
Steve Reid reportedly canvased in both Georgia and Michigan and never got compensation. "Despite multiple attempts to receive payment, Plaintiff Steven Reid was also not paid the full promised amounts for these referrals. He estimates that he has not been paid at least several thousand dollars he is owed for his referrals," they claimed.

In response to the allegations, Elon Musk's organization released a
statement. "America PAC is committed to paying for every legitimate petition signature, which is evidenced by the fact that we have paid tens of millions of dollars to canvassers for their hard work in support of our mission," America PAC spokesman
Andrew Romeo said.
The group also emphasized their commitment to "rooting out fraud" and noted how they have "the right to withhold payments to fraudsters."
