Musk's Giveaway Stays in State Court Amid Legal Battles

News summary

Elon Musk's $1 million daily giveaway to voters in key swing states until the November 5 U.S. presidential election has faced legal challenges, with accusations of it being an illegal lottery. Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner filed a lawsuit to stop the giveaways, leading to a legal battle over jurisdiction. A federal judge ruled that the case should remain in state court, rejecting Musk's attempt to move it to federal court. Critics argue the sweepstakes could influence the election by incentivizing voter registration in favor of Donald Trump. Musk's America PAC is also involved in a separate class action lawsuit in California over alleged labor law violations related to campaign canvassers. Legal analysts remain divided on whether Musk's actions constitute a violation of federal election laws.
