Elon Musk's $1 million daily giveaways to registered voters in swing states are under legal scrutiny after Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner filed a lawsuit alleging the program constitutes an illegal lottery under Pennsylvania law. Musk's legal team attempted to move the lawsuit to federal court, arguing it raises significant federal questions regarding election laws and political action committees. However, U.S. District Judge Gerald Pappert ruled against this motion, allowing the case to proceed in state court, which Krasner views as necessary to determine compliance with state law. Musk's attorneys criticized the district attorney's actions as a 'rushed stage play,' while Krasner contends the lawsuit is intended to protect the integrity of the election process. The giveaways, which are set to end on November 5, have drawn warnings from the Justice Department about potential violations of federal election laws. As the case unfolds, the impact of the legal proceedings may be rendered moot by the upcoming election date.
