Elon Musk’s $1 million winners are pre-selected by pro-Trump PAC, lawyer admits

Summary

Elon Musk’s $1 million sweepstakes for his pro-Trump PAC is not random, but rather a way to recruit “spokespeople” for the group.

The lawsuit against Musk and his PAC alleges that the sweepstakes violates consumer protection laws and falsely advertises a random contest.

Despite the admission of liability, the judge allowed the sweepstakes to continue.
