Musk PAC tells Philadelphia judge the $1 million sweepstakes winners are not chosen by chance

  • By MARYCLAIRE DALE Associated Press

A judge in Philadelphia is hearing more testimony about Elon Musk's $1 million-a-day swing-state voter sweepstakes. A lawyer for the billionaire's political action committee said the so-called "winners" are not chosen by chance. Attorney Chris Gober said the voters are hand-picked to be "spokespeople" for Musk's pro-GOP America PAC. Gober also told the judge that Monday's recipient will come from Arizona and Tuesday's from Michigan, so they won't affect Pennsylvania's election. More than a million people registered for the sweepstakes. Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner said these people were scammed for their personal information and it's unclear how the PAC will use it.
