A Philadelphia judge on Thursday paused a lawsuit against Elon Musk’s massive cash giveaways to voters in battleground states after the billionaire argued that questions about his political efforts should be resolved in federal court.
Philadelphia’s district attorney claimed a $1 million-a-day sweepstakes sponsored by Musk and America PAC, his pro-Trump group, violated state lottery and consumer protection laws. Late on Wednesday, Musk’s lawyers filed a motion to transfer the suit to federal court, and Judge Angelo Foglietta declined to block the giveaways in the meantime.
This likely means America PAC can continue giving out $1 million checks through Election Day next week. “American Justice FTW,” Musk tweeted after the hearing, which he skipped despite being ordered to attend.
Oh, gross. I don't support any of the amendments.
