Philadelphia DA Sues Elon Musk PAC to Stop $1 million Lottery for Voters

The Philadelphia District Attorney's Office on Monday filed a lawsuit seeking to stop Elon Musk and his political action committee from awarding $1 million to registered voters in swing states, accusing them of "running an illegal lottery."

"In other words, America PAC and Musk are lulling Philadelphia citizens " and others in the Commonwealth (and other swing states in the upcoming election) " to give up their personal identifying information and make a political pledge in exchange for the chance to win $1 million," the suit says.

"That is a lottery," the suit says. "And it is indisputably an unlawful lottery."

The suit says that under Pennsylvania law, all lotteries in that state must be regulated by the state.

Krasner in a statement Monday said, "The Philadelphia District Attorney is charged with protecting the public from public nuisances and unfair trade practices, including illegal lotteries."

"The DA is also charged with protecting the public from interference with the integrity of elections," Krasner said."

I wouldn't be surprised if this isn't what Elon expected.

I'm no fan of the guy. But he basically spread a voting campaign for Trump and now he gets to blame the government.

If only it was a Slam Dunk. All he is doing is getting voters to register and sign a petition. I disagree with what he is doing but I don't know what the legal grounds will be and I doubt they will stand up in court - 1A.

#4 I mostly agree. I don't like to see big money being frivolously spent on elections by either side, although I do donate. But when it comes to Krasner, people in Philadelphia that actually work and respect society there don't see Krasner as an effective bipartisan crime protecting DA. Local criminals probably do like him as do most others in crime infested Soros Democrat cities that love to create hell holes while sucking the vitality and money out of working Americans. That's the way I see it.

- crime infested Soros Democrat cities

Unbelievably ignorant.... oh, wait, Robson. Nevermind.

Republicans hate Soros, who, ask far as I can tell, lives predominantly in their imaginations.

Yet love Musk and Trump and the people who are actively working to end The United States of America.

Here's something for all you Sorosphobic.

What was the last thing Soros actually did?

Was it anything like buying twitter in order to control the nations dialogue?

Remember how scared you all were of Hunter Biden? Why is it we haven't heard anything about him since Joe stepped down in July?

You're all a bunch a fkkking morons.

Oh sure he will stop.

Right after the election.

And hopefully for him Trumpy wins and he gets pardoned.

And a sweet high level government job.

See how it works?

It's not a bribe. It's a pre-gratuity!

It seems like this is a violation of some election law.

The French had a novel way of dealing with the Musks of the world circa 1800.

Yet another Republican acting unlawfully, yet somehow not effecting your support.

Could be you're a horrible person
