Summary
Philadelphia DA's office is trying to block Elon Musk and his political action committee from awarding $1 million prizes to swing state voters. The lawsuit will be heard in federal court in Pennsylvania for now, but the DA's lawyer plans to have it transferred back to state court. The lawsuit claims the giveaway is an illegal lottery and an attempt to influence voters in the election. Musk did not attend the hearing, and his lawyers argued that the PAC is a federal entity not subject to state law. The outcome of the case is uncertain.
