Billionaire's Ballot Boost: Musk's Million Dollar Giveaway Challenged

Elon Musk has been summoned to a hearing over his $1 million-a-day giveaway aimed at swing state voters before the U.S. Presidential Election. Philadelphia's District Attorney claims it is an illegal lottery to sway the election. Legal debates continue as federal warnings loom over potential violations.

Elon Musk has been ordered to attend a hearing regarding a lawsuit that seeks to stop his $1 million-a-day giveaways to swing state voters right before the U.S. presidential election.

Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner alleges that Musk's actions constitute an illegal lottery designed to influence voters. This legal challenge comes just days before the contentious election between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris.

Musk's campaign promises financial rewards for voters signing a petition on free speech and gun rights. However, Krasner argues these are deceptive tactics meant to mislead. Legal experts are divided on whether the giveaway breaches federal law. Meanwhile, Musk continues to donate significantly to the political action committee backing Trump.
