Elon Musk’s political action committee (PAC) is involved in a legal dispute in Philadelphia over its $1 million-a-day voter sweepstakes. The controversy centres around claims that the winners were selected not randomly, as initially promised, but based on personal stories and contractual agreements with the PAC, making them “spokespeople” for the group.
“The $1 million recipients are not chosen by chance,” Gober said Monday. “We know exactly who will be announced as the $1 million recipient today and tomorrow.” – GOP lawyer Chris Gober
This has raised concerns about the legality of the sweepstakes under state election laws. The Philadelphia District Attorney, Larry Krasner, is challenging the campaign, alleging it’s a deceptive marketing ploy disguised as a lottery. The outcome of this legal dispute could impact the sweepstakes and the use of such promotional tactics in elections.
