A Pennsylvania judge ruled on Monday that Elon Musk’s $1 million-a-day voter sweepstakes, organized by his political action committee, can continue through Tuesday’s election.
The ruling came after Musk’s lawyers argued that winners are preselected as paid spokespeople rather than chosen by chance, countering claims from Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner that the sweepstakes is a “scam” designed to sway voters illegally. Musk’s “America PAC” stated that recipients are vetted and must align with the group’s values, with plans for final winners in Arizona and Michigan before the election concludes. The PAC has registered over 1 million participants.
