Hearing
Musk cited in court over voter raffle
Tech billionaire Elon Musk must answer to a Philadelphia court for giving out one million dollars a day to registered voters. A judge in Philadelphia ordered a hearing for Thursday at which all parties involved, including Musk, must appear.
The prosecution accuses Musk's political committee America PAC of running an "illegal lottery" and enticing Pennsylvanians to disclose personal information.
The Tesla CEO had promised to raffle off one million dollars a day among registered voters who sign his petition for freedom of speech and gun rights. The lawsuit aims to stop these payouts before the US elections on November 5.
Legal experts disagree on whether the action violates federal law. Musk, who is considered a supporter of former President Donald Trump, could play an important role with his committee in the expected close race between Trump and Democrat Kamala Harris.
