Judge to Rule on Musk's Million-Dollar Sweepstakes Amid Election Integrity Concerns

A Philadelphia judge is reviewing a legal bid to halt Elon Musk's USD 1 million-a-day sweepstakes, intended to bolster Donald Trump's presidential campaign. District Attorney Larry Krasner opposes the initiative, citing potential violation of election laws. The hearing is set for a City Hall courtroom.

A legal showdown is taking place in Philadelphia as a judge examines a city prosecutor's attempt to stop Elon Musk's USD 1 million-a-day sweepstakes designed to support Donald Trump's bid for the presidency.

District Attorney Larry Krasner filed a lawsuit on Monday against the America PAC sweepstakes, arguing it could breach federal election laws. Judge Angelo Foglietta will preside over the case.

The sweepstakes, offered to individuals in battleground states who sign a supporting petition, is criticized for potentially being an illegal lottery and undermining electoral integrity.
