Tesla CEO Elon Musk and his America PAC are supporting Republican nominee Donald Trump over Democratic nominee Kamala Harris in the presidential election.
  • Elon Musk must attend an emergency court hearing in Philadelphia on Thursday to address a bid by the city’s top prosecutor to stop the Tesla CEO and his political action committee from continuing to award $1 million prizes to registered voters in the swing state of Pennsylvania.
  • Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner revealed his lawsuit against Musk and the America PAC “triggered an avalanche of [social media] posts from Musk’s followers,” many of whom “made antisemitic attacks on Krasner.”
  • Krasner’s lawsuit accuses Musk and the PAC of operating an illegal lottery and trying to influence voters in the presidential election between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.

    Normally I would agree with you, but a Philadelphia DA doesn’t order Musk to appear in person without knowing what he’ll do. It’s warrant bait, pure and simple.

      Idk, I hope you’re right. I agree about what it is but I don’t think we agree how it’ll shake out.

      I think we want the same shake out, I’m just pessimistic here.
