Soros DA in Philly Sues Musk Over 'Illegal Lottery'

“America PAC and Musk are lulling Philadelphia citizens – and others in the Commonwealth (and other swing states in the upcoming election) – to give up their personal identifying information and make a political pledge in exchange for the chance to win $1 million,” the lawsuit alleges. “That is a lottery. And it is indisputably an unlawful lottery.”

In the lawsuit, Krasner’s office argues that Pennsylvania law requires all lotteries to be “operated and administered by the state” – and that Musk’s daily $1 million giveaway must be halted because it’s operating outside of those legal guardrails.

Lawfare erupts again. Illegal lotteries involve people buying tickets; this is a contest giveaway, not a lottery. But the point here is to use prosecutorial power to intimidate political opponents, not to protect Pennsylvania consumers.
