A lawyer for Elon Musk 's political action committee told a judge in Philadelphia on Monday that so-called “winners” of his $1 million-a-day voter sweepstakes in swing states are not chosen by chance but are instead chosen to be paid “spokespeople” for the group. GOP lawyer Chris Gober also said that the recipients Monday and Tuesday will come from Arizona and Michigan, respectively, and therefore will not affect the Pennsylvania election.
Presenting a giveaway as random and then not following through with a random selection is very illegal. I guess it shouldn’t be too surprising that Musk’s lawyer just straight up admitted to a felony in court, given that there’s no way a competent lawyer would have ever signed off on this and put himself in a situation where he’d have to defend it in court. Not unless Musk is willing to pay him so much that he’ll never need to practice law again.
Unfortunate that they weren’t able to do anything to stop the election interference. But there’s enough blatant criminal activity here that there should be no reason why they can’t press charges (state and federal) and throw his ass in prison. They just need to be willing to go after him, and also not have Trump in the white house protecting him.

I’m sure they’ll get right on that, right after they move forward with any of Trump’s trials
I’m sure he is somehow shielded by the PAC.
The fucker personally handed out the giant check. He can’t exactly argue that he wasn’t involved.
