TL;DR Summary

A Pennsylvania judge has ruled that Elon Musk's daily $1 million giveaway to voters can continue, despite arguments from Philadelphia's district attorney that it constitutes an illegal lottery. The ruling is largely symbolic as the sweepstakes ends on Election Day.

The Justice Department has warned that the sweepstakes might violate federal election laws.
