Elon Musk's $1 Million Voter Giveaway Lawsuit Returns to State Court

A federal judge ruled against Musk's attempt to move the case to federal court, allowing Pennsylvania to proceed with its challenge.

  • Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner filed a lawsuit against Musk's America PAC, claiming the giveaway constitutes an illegal lottery under state law.
  • U.S. District Judge Gerald Pappert decided the case should remain in state court, dismissing arguments that it involved federal election interference.
  • Musk's America PAC has awarded $1 million prizes to 14 registered voters in key swing states, with plans to continue until Election Day.
  • The Department of Justice warned that the giveaway might violate federal laws, but no federal charges have been filed.
  • The legal proceedings are unlikely to halt the giveaways before the upcoming presidential election, as the case is now back in state court.
