Judge Allows Musk's $1M Voter Sweepstakes Amid Legal Concerns
TL;DR
A Pennsylvania judge has ruled that Elon Musk's $1 million-a-day voter sweepstakes, run by his political action committee America PAC, can continue through the presidential election. The sweepstakes, which selects winners to serve as spokespeople for the PAC, has been criticized by Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner as a scam intended to influence voters. Krasner filed a lawsuit alleging the sweepstakes violates state election laws, but the court allowed it to proceed, with Musk's lawyers defending it as political speech.
