Philadelphia DA sues Musk PAC to stop $1 million lottery for voters

The Philadelphia District Attorney's Office is suing to halt a political action committee run by billionaire Elon Musk from giving away $1 million to registered voters in swing states.

Some experts have questioned the legality of the giveaway.

The lawsuit by Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner alleges Musk and his America PAC of trying to influence voters in the presidential election. It comes just days after the Justice Department sent a letter to the super PAC founded by Musk, listed by Bloomberg News as the wealthiest person in the world, warning that awarding $1 million to registered voters could violate federal laws against paying voters.
