Judge Permits Elon Musk's $1M Daily Voter Giveaway Amid Legal Concerns
TL;DR Summary
A Philadelphia judge has ruled that Elon Musk's political action committee can continue its $1 million-a-day voter contest through the presidential election. The decision follows a lawsuit by Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner, who argued the contest was an illegal lottery and could interfere with election integrity. Musk's attorneys claim the payments are for serving as spokespersons, not random selection. The Justice Department is also reportedly scrutinizing the sweepstakes, as federal law prohibits payments for voter registration or voting.
