On November 5, ahead of the US presidential election on Tuesday, Musk's daily giveaway of millions of dollars to voters evaded a legal challenge 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 halt the contest, which the latter claimed was an illegal lottery. Musk's lawyers argued at the hearing that the contest winners were not randomly selected.
The selection of winners was based on whether they were "suitable" to become public spokespeople for Musk's political action committee, often based on their personal stories. The judge made the ruling shortly after, without any further argumentation. (Jinshibao)
