VoteSafe.org linked to Elon Musk's America PAC, may share users' personal data

VoteSafe.org is funded and operated by America PAC, the political action committee founded and largely financed by Elon Musk, and its privacy policy says America PAC may collect and disclose users' personal information. Snopes found the VoteSafe.org homepage and site footer carry America PAC branding and a banner on America PAC's site links to VoteSafe.org; the VoteSafe.org privacy policy was last updated August 29, 2026. The policy lists contact information and data about political interests, employment, demographics, social media and internet activity among categories it may collect and says information may be shared with third parties or "sold" where permitted by law, though Snopes notes it is unclear whether America PAC directly sells data for money. The policy names one third party, a "business partner" called Western Creative Group, which has no public online presence and whose Wyoming registration lists a law firm as agent; The Washington Post reported in 2024 that Musk passed $20 million to an advertising firm called Western Creative Group. VoteSafe.org offers a way for users to opt out of third-party sharing, and Snopes asked America PAC and the law firm tied to Western Creative Group for comment and is awaiting responses. For checking registration, Snopes contrasts VoteSafe.org with vote.org and the official government site vote.gov, noting vote.org is a long-established nonpartisan nonprofit and vote.gov is the official government page.

THREAD 🧵 This week, Elon Musk's America PAC launched hundreds of anti-trans ads, part of a $100 million midterm spend. In 2024, a Musk-funded PAC ran antisemitic ads reminding Muslim voters that Doug Emhoff is Jewish. That's not a coincidence.

Screenshot of an article headline reading, “Elon Musk Targets Democrats on Transgender Issues in Key Senate Races.” The subheadline says a political group associated with Musk is running attack ads against Democrats in Texas, Ohio, and Iowa.
