Philadelphia’s district attorney has taken legal action to halt tech billionaire Elon Musk’s controversial $1 million giveaway to registered voters. The civil lawsuit was filed by Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner, a Democrat known for his progressive approach to prosecution, against Musk and his pro-Trump group, America PAC.
Musk's super PAC recently awarded two $1 million prizes to registered voters in Michigan and Wisconsin. This action came after the Justice Department cautioned that such payments could potentially be illegal. Prior to this, the Justice Department had issued a warning to the group, highlighting concerns that their daily sweepstakes might be in violation of federal election laws prohibiting payment for voter registrations.
The source has attempted to contact a spokesperson for Musk’s super PAC for a response regarding the situation.
