Elon Musk's Lottery Scheme Lawsuit Moves to Federal Court

Elon Musk is facing a lawsuit from Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner over his America PAC's $1 million daily lottery, which is alleged to be an illegal lottery under Pennsylvania law. Musk's legal team has successfully moved the case from state court to federal court, asserting that the allegations involve federal election interference rather than just state laws. This maneuver delays any immediate state court hearings, with Krasner's team seeking a swift remand back to state jurisdiction. The lottery, intended to incentivize political participation among voters in swing states, has drawn scrutiny as it requires personal information from participants, potentially violating local laws. As the lawsuit unfolds, the final lottery drawing is set for November 5, coinciding with Election Day, raising concerns about its implications for the electoral process. Musk's lawyers maintain that the case should be adjudicated federally, framing it as a matter of national interest rather than just local law violations.
