A federal judge on Thursday ordered Tesla CEO Elon Musk to testify under oath in two cases where he is accused of defrauding voters in swing states before the 2024 general election. U.S. Magistrate Judge Susan Hightower of the Western District of Texas ordered Musk to sit for a deposition as part of a fraud lawsuit brought by two Arizona women. They accuse Musk's political action committee, America PAC, of tricking voters into giving personal information as part of giving away $1 million every day leading up to Election Day. Musk made the pledge during a town hall in Pennsylvania in October 2024, saying he would give the money if they signed America PAC's petition. "The only thing we ask for the million dollars is that you be a spokesperson for the petition," Musk told a recipient he handpicked from the audience at the time.


Investigators in Doa Ana County used traffic cameras, GPS and old fashioned detective work to track down the vehicle and driver witnesses photographed leaving the scene of a deadly midday hit-and-run earlier this week. The investigation led them to the door of Kimberly Skaggs, 54, a high-profile New Mexico Republican Party official who was already known to police for her involvement in dangerous street racing and speeding in luxury cars. According to court records, at 2:46 p.m. on Monday June 22, deputies police responded to calls of a bicyclist who had been struck by a black Cadillac Escalade on Fairacres Road. The bicyclist later died on scene. Witnesses observed the driver of the Cadillac walking around then entering their vehicle and driving away, leaving the bicyclist on scene. A witness's photograph of the fleeing vehicle captured a partial license plate which police were able to use to track the vehicle through traffic and security cameras. read more
