Several outlets report that America PAC spent more than $180,000 promoting VoteSafe in one week, but they all trace back to Judd Legum's Popular Information report, so the figure has no independent corroboration. No source contradicts it, and the factcheck.org and AdImpact figures concern different measures, so the claim cannot be graded either way.

The guest relays this claim without endorsing it. It counts as passed on, not against the post.

This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.

What was said

… So here we go. Okay, so this was very interesting to me. Now, Elon Musk, he has his America Pack. It's heavily promoting a site called Vote Safe, and it helps people check registration allegedly and get voter information, right? That's the selling point. They have spent more than a hundred and 80,000 dollars in advertising the site in one week, according to reports.

What we found

Supports. IBTimes, The New Republic, TriplePundit and others repeat the $180,000-in-one-week figure, but each attributes it to Judd Legum's Popular Information report, so the coverage is circular rather than independent corroboration.[3][4][5]

Context. FactCheck.org reports America PAC had spent about $3.7 million on mostly digital ads as of Sept. 23 per AdImpact. This is a cumulative figure over a different period and does not confirm or refute a one-week $180,000 total.[1]

Context. Snopes verified that VoteSafe.org collects and may share user data, but it does not address the advertising spend amount.[2]
