A Pennsylvania state judge ruled Thursday that he would not block Elon Musk from continuing his $1 million per day voter giveaway ahead of the Nov. 5 general election.
Judge Angelo Foglietta announced that he would place the civil lawsuit brought by Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner on hold because Musk is seeking to have the case removed to federal court, according to Reuters.
“Krasner, who championed progressive causes when running for district attorney, accuses Tesla CEO Musk and his political action committee America PAC of hatching an ‘illegal lottery scheme to influence voters,’” the outlet reported.
Musk’s random giveaways through his America PAC are for registered voters — residing in the swing states of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania or Wisconsin — who sign a petition saying they support the First and Second Amendments.
America PAC is also awarding $47 to everyone who recruits a registered voter to sign the petition.
Musk gave his first two checks away in Pennsylvania last week.
Every night, @America will announce another $1M winner!
All you have to do is sign our petition in support of The Constitution. https://t.co/Zsda5ao2In
