A Pennsylvania Judge has ruled Elon Musk’s America PAC can proceed to continue its $1 million-a-day giveaway contest through November 5.
Common Pleas Court Judge Angelo Foglietta ruled against Philadephia’s district attorney, Larry Krasner, who claimed that Musk’s sweepstakes was an illegal lottery grift that violates state law.
The America PAC founded by Musk gives $1 million away to selected voters in swing states who sign a pledge to support the Constitution.
Foglietta argued that the PAC’s giveaway was “a political marketing masquerading as a lottery.”
Attorney Chris Gober, who represented Musk’s America PAC, argued, “The $1 million recipients are not chosen by chance; we know exactly who will be announced as the $1 million recipient today and tomorrow.”

Appearing as a witness on Monday, Krasner called the contest “a grift.”
“This was all a political marketing masquerading as a lottery,” the district attorney said.
Earlier that day, it was revealed that the winners of America PAC’s giveaway are not randomly selected. The effort, which asks voters in swing states to sign a petition to potentially win $1 million, appears to be more of a contest.
Attorney Chris Gober said on Monday that the winners of the giveaway were picked based on personal stories that they shared, and that they all signed nondisclosure agreements.
“The $1 million recipients are not chosen by chance,” America PAC attorney Chris Gober said in court on Monday. “We know exactly who will be announced as the $1 million recipient today and tomorrow.”
America PAC’s contest involves giving $1 million to one swing state voter per day until Election Day. The initiative was announced by Musk in October, who described it as a random sweepstakes at a rally for former President Trump on Oct. 19…
