Philly DA Drops Lawsuit Over Musk’s Fake Lottery

November 26, 2024 Trump Corruption, Trump Lies

The New York Times reports:

The civil lawsuit from District Attorney Larry Krasner of Philadelphia against Elon Musk and his super PAC, America PAC, has been officially dropped, according to a new filing from Krasner’s office. Krasner had sued Musk and the group because of their attempt to stage what Krasner called an illegal lottery in which Musk’s group gave away $1 million every day until Election Day in exchange for swing-state voters signing a pro-Constitution petition. Just before Election Day, a Pennsylvania judge declined to stop the contest.

But at least there’s still this: 

Elon Musk and his America PAC have been sued for allegedly lying about their $1 million election lottery after letting slip in a court hearing earlier this month that it wasn’t as random as Musk suggested. The proposed class action complaint was filed after election day by an Arizona resident who signed America PAC’s petition under the assumption they’d be eligible for a randomly awarded $1 million prize. Musk’s own words, and those of his lawyers in court, indicate the supposedly random giveaway was anything but, with America PAC selecting winners based on their suitability to serve as spokespeople for the group.

There’s no evidence that Musk’s fake lottery swung the election Trump’s way.
