The Philadelphia district attorney’s office sued Tesla CEO Elon Musk over his political action committee’s $1 million a day giveaway to registered voters in swing states, alleging it violates consumer protection laws and is designed to interfere in the upcoming Presidential Election.
Under the scheme, voters in swing states could be eligible to win a $1 million daily cash prize up until Election Day if they sign a petition in support of the First and Second Amendment of the Constitution—free speech and gun rights, respectively. Philadelphia District Attorney Lawrence Krasner called for an immediate injunction to stop the America PAC and Musk from operating what he called an “illegal lottery” and from engaging in deceptive practices in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The lawsuit, dated Monday, names both Musk and his America PAC as defendants.
