Summary

Elon Musk’s $1 million sweepstakes for his pro-Trump PAC is not random, but rather a way to recruit “spokespeople” for the group.

The lawsuit against Musk and his PAC alleges that the sweepstakes violates consumer protection laws and falsely advertises a random contest.

Despite the admission of liability, the judge allowed the sweepstakes to continue.

    It’s always a grift with these people.

    It’s not even surprising anymore. Oh… wow… the Scooby Doo villain’s mask came off again… crazy… who ever could have seen that coming… crazy…

    It’s just tedious.

      I don’t know if this is a criminal charge, but if it is, then this is the answer right here.

      A couple of months behind bars would be a brutal wake up call to billionaires that money can’t buy everything.

      Of course they’d just double down on buying more politicians and judges.

    I really hope too many people aren’t surprised, this being a fraud/grift was a guarantee.
