Elon Musk Faces Legal Challenge Over Voter Lottery
Tesla CEO Elon Musk is facing a court hearing in Philadelphia on Thursday over a lawsuit filed by the city’s top prosecutor. The lawsuit alleges that Musk and his political action committee (PAC) are operating an illegal lottery and attempting to influence voters in Pennsylvania.
Antisemitic Attacks on Prosecutor
The lawsuit has sparked a wave of antisemitic attacks on the prosecutor, Larry Krasner, on social media. Musk’s followers have posted messages containing antisemitic slurs and threats, prompting requests for enhanced security at the upcoming hearing.
Lottery Allegations
Krasner accuses Musk and his PAC of running a deceptive lottery that lacks clear rules and privacy protections for participants. He also alleges that the lottery appears to be rigged, with multiple winners being identified as attendees of Trump rallies.
Musk’s Response
Musk and his representatives have not yet commented on the lawsuit. The hearing will determine whether the lottery will be halted before the presidential election between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.
