Lawyers representing Elon Musk argued in court on Monday that the $1 million giveaway to voters is not a lottery, contending that the recipients are not chosen by chance. The defense team emphasized that the 'prize' is actually compensation for serving as a spokesperson for Musk's pro-Trump super PAC, America PAC.
Chris Gober, Musk's lawyer, clarified that the winners are selected based on their suitability to represent the PAC, and the $1 million serves as payment for their work rather than a traditional prize to be won randomly.
