Elon Musk was a no-show at a mandatory court appearance in Philadelphia on Thursday, after a judge ordered the billionaire and representatives of his Donald Trump-supporting political action committee to a hearing over a lawsuit targeting his $1 million sweepstakes to Pennsylvania voters.
On Wednesday, Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner — who is trying to block the world’s wealthiest man and his America PAC from an “illegal lottery scheme” to influence voters — warned a judge that Musk’s X posts against the lawsuit have inspired an “avalanche” of attacks, including antisemitic abuse and calls for masked intruders to invade the DA’s home.
