'Must be stopped': Philly DA sues to halt Elon Musk's $1M voter scheme

Raw Story  

Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner is putting his foot down on X CEO Elon Musk's plan to give away $1 million to registered voters every day up until election day. The Philadelphia Inquirer reported Monday that Krasner this week filed a lawsuit with the Philadelphia Common Pleas Court in which he accused Musk of conducting an illegal lottery that violates consumer protection laws. Krasner's lawsuit comes as many legal experts have said that Musk's million-dollar giveaway may be illegal because entrants need to be registered voters in order to be eligible. In fact, the United States Department of Justice sent Musk a warning last week that his giveaway may be breaking federal laws against giving voters money in order to register.
