# United States of America Inc
**United States of America Inc** is a Texas corporation [[Elon Musk]] registered in early October 2024, with Musk as its only director and an address shared with his family office. It was registered alongside **Group America LLC**, which lists Musk as managing member. Group America was later named, with Musk and [[America PAC]], in a 2025 canvasser lawsuit over unpaid referral fees (see [[America PAC Timeline]]). When the filings were first spotted, nothing in them explained the corporation's purpose. By Nov. 1, 2024, Forbes reported that it was mailing checks to people who signed America PAC's petition.
## What the FEC shows it does
United States of America Inc pays the costs of America PAC's petition and prize programs, and the PAC reports those payments as **in-kind contributions**, attributed back to Musk. The PAC's own filings break out the categories: "petition incentives," "petition incentive fulfillment service," petition processing and administrative fees, voter-data consulting, web services, travel.
| Period | In-kind to America PAC, attributed to Musk | Largest single entry |
|---|---|---|
| 2024 cycle | ~$52.1M | $40,495,178 "petition incentives" (Nov. 25, 2024), then $11,215,136 (Dec. 31, 2024) |
| 2025–26 cycle (through June 30, 2026) | $30,209,514 | $27,072,484 "petition incentives" (June 30, 2025) |
That is about **$82 million** across the two cycles, more than a quarter of everything Musk has put into America PAC.
## Why it matters here
- **The prizes didn't move as PAC cash.** The $47 and $100 petition payments and the $1-million-a-day giveaway ([[America PAC $1 Million Petition Sweepstakes]]) were paid by a Musk corporation and booked by the PAC after the fact. This is why the PAC's 2024 total for Musk kept climbing after Election Day: about $11.2 million was added in the year-end report alone.
- **It explains why the totals disagree.** Counts of "Musk's America PAC money" that include only cash ($197.7M in 2024) or stop at the Nov. 25 filing ($238.5M, the widely quoted "$239M") both undercount the year-end figure of $249.75M. See [[Elon Musk Political Donations]].
- **The pattern continued.** The in-kind channel stayed open after 2024: $27 million in petition incentives booked on June 30, 2025, and smaller entries through mid-2026.
