Philadelphia DA Sues Elon Musk Over Alleged Illegal Lottery

The lawsuit challenges Musk's $1 million-a-day giveaway as a violation of Pennsylvania's lottery regulations.

  • Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner has filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk, claiming the billionaire's America PAC is conducting an illegal lottery by offering $1 million daily to registered voters.
  • The lawsuit argues that the giveaway violates Pennsylvania's consumer protection laws by operating without proper lottery oversight and failing to disclose odds of winning.
  • Critics of the lawsuit claim it is politically motivated, highlighting Krasner's own past violations of campaign finance laws.
  • The Department of Justice has sent a warning letter to Musk, but no federal charges have been filed regarding potential election law violations.
  • Krasner's suit focuses on alleged deceptive practices and the collection of personal data, rather than direct election interference or vote-buying.
