A prosecutor in the US has filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk, who announced that he would give a cash prize to one person every day from among those who sign the campaign of his political action committee called “America PAC”, which supports Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump in contested states, until the election, for “organizing an illegal raffle.” “America PAC and Musk are deceiving Philadelphians into providing their personal information and making political pledges in exchange for the chance to win $1 million,” Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner said in a statement.
A hearing on Krasner’s request for a preliminary injunction is scheduled for Nov. 1.
A MILLION DOLLARS EVERY DAY America PAC is giving $1 million every day to a single person who signs up from registered voters in swing states as part of its plan to boost support for Trump. The Justice Department has sent a letter to America PAC warning that the gifts could violate federal law, CNN reported. The petition falls into a gray area of election law, and legal experts are divided on whether Musk would violate prohibitions on paying people to vote.
