Elon Musk and America PAC Settle Lawsuits Over 2024 Election Lottery Claims

Elon Musk and America PAC Settle Lawsuits Over 2024 Election Lottery ClaimsPreviousNext

Elon Musk and his political action committee, America PAC, have agreed to settle two class-action lawsuits alleging they misled voters in key battleground states with a promised daily $1 million lottery during the 2024 US presidential election campaign. The lawsuits claimed the lottery was deceptive, as winners were not randomly selected from petition signatories. Musk and America PAC denied wrongdoing. The settlement, pending court approval, avoids further legal proceedings and follows a federal judge's order for Musk to testify.
