A Pennsylvania judge declined to issue an immediate injunction against Elon Musk’s $1 million daily giveaway ahead of the November election, despite Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner’s lawsuit claiming it constitutes "election interference" and an "illegal lottery." Krasner argued that the giveaway, which awards $1 million daily to petition signers supporting the Constitution, violates Pennsylvania laws against deceptive lottery practices and election manipulation. Musk’s America PAC, promoting pro-Constitution initiatives, awarded its first $1 million check to rally-goer John Dreher in Harrisburg.
Judge Angelo Foglietta decided to hold the lawsuit while a federal court considers if it has jurisdiction, likely delaying further proceedings until after the election. Krasner’s office contends the suit serves public interest by safeguarding election integrity and consumer protection, though it has drawn criticism for diverting resources from local crime issues
