The district attorney of Philadelphia has filed a lawsuit to halt Elon Musk's $1 million giveaways as part of his political organization's effort to boost Donald Trump's presidential campaign. This legal action by Democratic District Attorney Larry Krasner is the first of its kind regarding the America PAC's sweepstakes, which offers $1 million daily until Nov. 5 to a person in a battleground state who has signed a petition supporting the Constitution.

Krasner's office stated that the lawsuit, occurring just over a week before Election Day, does not rule out potential criminal action. The lawsuit is based on protecting the public from public nuisances, unfair trade practices, illegal lotteries, and interference with the integrity of elections.
