Larry Krasner, the District Attorney, described Musk's $1 million-a-day voter sweepstakes as a "scam designed to actually influence a national election," asserting it should be shut down, highlighting the conflict between political fundraising and fair election practices.
Elon Musk's lawyer, Chris Gober, clarified that the $1 million recipients are not selected randomly. Winners are predetermined based on personal alignment with the political action committee's values, raising ethical concerns about election integrity.
Chris Young, director of America PAC, testified about the vetting process for recipients, emphasizing the importance of aligning values and personality with the PAC, which raises questions about the authenticity of the giveaways as random rewards.
Musk's legal team argued that the sweepstakes is "core political speech" and claimed Krasner's attempts to stop it were irrelevant since no more winners would be chosen from Pennsylvania, pointing to a strategic maneuver to sidestep state election laws.
