Philadelphia DA sues Elon Musk over $1 million voter gift

Elon Musk has been prosecuted by the Philadelphia district attorney over his political action committee’s $1 million-a-day sweepstakes targeting voters in swing states. Via 6ABC.com:

The Philadelphia District Attorney sued Elon Musk and his super PAC on Monday over the billionaire’s controversial $1 million gift to registered voters.

The lawsuit filed by Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner claims that Musk and his America PAC are “conducting an illegal lottery in Philadelphia (and throughout Pennsylvania).”

Musk announced the eighth winner of his super PAC’s $1 million prize in Lancaster, Pa., on Saturday and doubled down on his promise to continue giving away money to a registered voter in a swing state who signed his petition. He said participants are not required to vote, but the online petition form indicates one must be a registered voter to be eligible.

“We’re trying to bring attention to this very important petition to support the Constitution. And it’s like we, you know, we need the right to free speech; we need the right to wear the weapons,” Musk told the gathering.
