Elon Musk's super PAC is attempting to move a lawsuit filed by the Philadelphia District Attorney against Musk and America PAC to federal court. Musk's lawyers have filed a 'Notice of Removal' with the U.S. District Court, arguing that the dispute is a federal matter. The lawsuit, initiated by Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner, a Soros-backed DA, involves America PAC's petition-signer giveaways. Judge Anne Marie Coyle accepted the motion of removal on Thursday morning, which typically pauses the state case and moves it to a federal judge. Critics, including Jonathan Turley, argue that the lawsuit is politically motivated and aims to disrupt Musk's campaigning.
