Philadelphia's district attorney has requested an emergency hearing from a federal judge to address the ongoing legal dispute surrounding Elon Musk's $1 million giveaway to voters. The judge has ordered Musk to respond by Friday at 10 a.m. ET, indicating that a resolution will not be reached immediately as requested by prosecutors.
The district attorney, Larry Krasner, criticized Musk for attempting to shift the civil lawsuit from Pennsylvania state court to federal court. This move, made late on Wednesday night, disrupted a scheduled hearing in state court on whether the sweepstakes should be halted.
