Summary
A Philadelphia judge has paused the state challenge against Elon Musk's $1 million-a-day voter giveaway, allowing lawyers for Musk’s America PAC to move the case to federal court. The Philadelphia District Attorney, Larry Krasner, who filed the lawsuit claiming the sweepstakes constitutes an illegal lottery, argues it could impact election integrity. As the PAC aims to boost Donald Trump's campaign, questions arise about potential violations of both state and federal election laws. Musk's legal team contends the PAC is the correct defendant, not Musk personally, as the case progresses.
