Musk's "$1 Million Lottery" event is allowed to continue
ChainCatcher news, according to Jinshi reports, ahead of the U.S. presidential election on Tuesday, Musk's daily giveaway of one million dollars to voters has avoided legal challenges from the Philadelphia district attorney, as a Pennsylvania judge refused to block the activity. Pennsylvania is a key swing state.
The Pennsylvania judge dismissed the district attorney's request to stop the contest, which claimed it was an illegal lottery. Musk's lawyer stated at the hearing that the winners of the contest are not chosen randomly. The selection of winners is based on whether they are "suitable" to be public spokespersons for Musk's political action committee, typically based on their personal stories. Shortly thereafter, the judge made the ruling without any argument.
