Philadelphia DA Sues Elon Musk's America PAC Over $1 Million Daily Voter Giveaway

Oct 30, 2024, 05:56 PM

Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner has filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk and his political action committee (PAC), America PAC, to halt a $1 million daily giveaway to registered voters in swing states. The lawsuit alleges that Musk's sweepstakes, which offers $1 million daily until November 5, constitutes an illegal lottery under Pennsylvania law and violates consumer protection laws. The initiative, which requires voters to sign a petition, is seen as an effort to boost former President Donald Trump's presidential campaign. The lawsuit has prompted a judge to schedule an emergency hearing, requiring Musk to appear in court. Krasner has requested enhanced security for the hearing due to threats received following the lawsuit.
