Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson wants Elon Musk to “immediately implement changes to X’s AI search assistant, Grok,” over allegedly “false information” about the November election.

The Democratic gubernatorial hopeful and four other secretaries of state signed on to a letter to the world’s richest man on Monday, just a day after Benson launched an investigation into a political action committee Musk created and funded.

“As Secretaries of State whose offices and 37 million constituents were recently impacted by false information provided by your platform, we are calling on you to immediately implement changes to X’s AI search assistant, Grok, to ensure voters have accurate information in this critical election year,” the letter read.

Benson, along with secretaries of state from Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Washington and New Mexico, pointed to headlines allegedly produced by Grok following President Joe Biden’s decision last month to drop out of the 2024 presidential contest.

A Grok post suggested ballot deadlines for at least nine states, including Michigan, had already passed for when Biden made the announcement on July 21, but the letter contends “this is false,” according to Michigan Advance.

“In all nine states the opposite is true: The ballots are not closed, and upcoming ballot deadlines would allow for changes to candidates listed on the ballot for the offices of President and Vice President of the United States,” the secretaries of state wrote.

“While Grok is only available to X premium and Premium+ subscribers and includes a disclaimer asking users to verify information, the false information about ballot deadlines has been captured and shared repeatedly in multiple posts – reaching millions of people,” they complained. “Furthermore, Grok continued to repeat this false information for more than a week until it was corrected on July 31, 2021.”

The letter highlights a partnership between OpenAI and the National Association of Secretaries of State that direct voters with questions about the election to CanIVote.org, which Benson and company described as “a nonpartisan resource from professional election administrators of both political parties.”

“On November 6, 2022, you posted that the platform ‘needs to become by far the most accurate source of information about the world. That’s our mission,’” the letter read. “We hope that you live up to this mission.”

The letter was dated the day after Benson took to Musk’s X to gloat over reports her office is investigating America PAC, a federal political action committee launched and funded by Musk.

Benson posted an image of a smirking Angelina Jolie on Sunday in response to a post from CNBC reporter Brian Schwartz.

“The day Benson’s office told me they’re launching a probe into the Musk backed PAC and I reached out to the PAC, is the same day the committee took down their homepage links to register to vote & request a ballot,” Schwartz wrote.

Schwartz reported the day prior that Benson is investigating America PAC for potential state law violations over how the PAC’s website helps register folks to vote. CNBC alleged the PAC acquired voter information from those living in Michigan and other battleground states using a form that’s no longer on the site.

“Every citizen should know exactly how their personal information is being used by PACs, especially if an entity is claiming it will help people register to vote in Michigan or any other state,” an unnamed spokeswoman for Benson’s office told CNBC.

“While the America PAC is a federal political action committee, the Department is reviewing their activities to determine if there have been any violations of state law,” the spokeswoman said. “We will refer potential violations to the Michigan Attorney General’s office as appropriate.”

Musk, who owns X, and serves as CEO of Space X, Tesla, and other companies, is publicly backing former President Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential contest, though Reuters acknowledges Musk, with an estimated net worth of over $225 billion, “has not pledged anything to anyone.”

Benson’s office would not discuss the focus of its investigation when contacted by Reuters, while Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel and America PAC ignored requests for comment from multiple media outlets. Legal experts who spoke with CNBC didn’t seem to think Musk’s America PAC has done anything illegal.

Benson, a former “hate crime investigator” for the disgraced Southern Poverty Law Center, has worked tirelessly to present her Secretary of State’s office as a ministry of truth focused on rooting out “misinformation” during the 2024 election, while simultaneously promoting voting through youth outreach, Veterans Affairs office, and Small Business Administration sites in Democratic areas of the state.

Those efforts have also involved encouraging Michiganders to report their neighbors for alleged election “misinformation” and lobbying the media to help her “protect the minds of voters.”

The attacks on Trump’s most influential supporter and efforts to control the narrative in the 2024 election, along with relentless campaigning on behalf of Democrats, and book set for release in early 2025, continue to fuel speculation from political observers that Benson’s ultimate goal is to replace Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in 2026.
