Mr Musk on Oct 19 gave a US$1 million cheque to an attendee at a rally in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, which was hosted by America PAC - a political action group the Tesla chief executive set up to back Republican Donald Trump in the Nov 5 presidential election.
Mr Shapiro said on NBC's Meet The Press that Mr Musk's plan to give money to registered voters in Pennsylvania is "deeply concerning" and "it's something that law enforcement could take a look at".
The money is the latest example of Mr Musk using his extraordinary wealth to influence the tightly contested presidential race between Trump and his Democratic rival, Vice-President Kamala Harris.
Pennsylvania is a must-win state for both Trump and Ms Harris.
Mr Musk's America PAC is playing a major role in helping mobilise and register voters in battleground states that could decide the presidential election, but there are signs it is having trouble meeting its goals, Reuters reported on Oct 18.
