Elon Musk’s $1M-a-Day Voter Sweepstakes Can Proceed, Judge Says

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 4, 2024 (AP) — The $1 million-a-day voter sweepstakes that Elon Musk's political action committee is hosting in swing states can continue through Tuesday’s presidential election, a Pennsylvania judge ruled Monday.

Common Pleas Court Judge Angelo Foglietta — ruling after Musk’s lawyers said the winners are paid spokespeople and not chosen by chance — did not immediately explain his reasoning.

District Attorney Larry Krasner, a Democrat, had called the process a scam “designed to actually influence a national election” and asked that it be shut down.
