Elon Musk and his political action committee are facing a lawsuit that accuses the group of lying to voters about their daily $1 million giveaway.
Elon Musk speaks before Republican presidential nominee former President Donald Trump at a campaign rally at Madison Square Garden, Sunday, Oct. 27, 2024, in New York.
A lawsuit filed Tuesday in federal court in Austin, Texas accuses Musk’s super PAC, Save America, of getting voters to sign their petition to support the Constitution for a chance to win $1 million under false pretenses. According to the lawsuit, voters were falsely induced into signing the petition under the guise of a random chance to win the $1 million prize, though Musk and his legal team have since changed course and said they were predetermined amid a lawsuit from Philadelphia’s district attorney.
“Defendants’ statements indicating that individuals who signed the petition would be chosen at random to win $1,000,000 were false, and Defendants knew those statements were false at the time they were made,” the lawsuit says. The plaintiff in the suit, Jacqueline McAferty, claims that she would not have signed the petition or provided her personal information to Musk’s PAC if she had been “aware that she had no chance of receiving $1,000,000.”A judge in Pennsylvania ruled on Monday that it can continue, though its effects were limited as the giveaway ended on Election Day.
