A Pennsylvania judge ruled Monday that Elon Musk’s daily $1 million giveaway to voters can continue, in a victory for the tech billionaire and Donald Trump ally.
Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas Judge Angelo Foglietta rejected arguments from the city’s district attorney, Larry Krasner, who argued that the sweepstakes was an illegal lottery violating state law and must be halted immediately.
The ruling came shortly after an all-day hearing in a packed courtroom in downtown Philadelphia. The hearing was heated at times, with Krasner’s team calling Musk’s political team “shysters” who are running a “scam” and “grift” – and Musk’s team accusing the district attorney of pursuing a “dreadful violation of constitutional rights.”
Heard he doesn’t give the money away as a lottery, but to pre-selected people, who plays “the random voter” guy.
But what a shit show regardless.
And they prove that they aren’t just lying to the public by making them think it’s a lottery they actually have a chance in, right? Right??
Yeah right… So as usual muskrat gets to have his cake and eat it too.
