Judge accelerates, relocates hearing on suit over Elon Muskā€™s $1 million-a-day giveaway

The moves come after the Philadelphia district attorney reported receiving threats from Musk's followers.

Many of the posts were antisemitic and one account repeatedly included Krasnerā€™s home address, encouraging others to visit. ā€œMask up and leave all cellphones at home,ā€ said the messages, which the DA described as ā€œunquestionably ā€¦ criminal.ā€

Elon Musk seeks to move $1M swing state voter giveaway case to federal court

Muskā€™s attorneys began the removal process on Wednesday night, just hours before the scheduled hearing, arguing that the case should be moved because it presents significant federal issues.

Judge returns challenge to Elon Muskā€™s giveaways to state court, siding with Philadelphia DA

ā€œFederal question jurisdiction does not turn on a plaintiffā€™s motivations in filing suit; it turns on whether the legal issues arising from the claims originate in federal or state law,ā€ Pappert wrote.

A lawyer for Elon Musk ā€˜s political action committee told a judge in Philadelphia on Monday that so-called ā€œwinnersā€ of his $1 million-a-day voter sweepstakes in swing states are not chosen by chance but are instead chosen to be paid ā€œspokespeopleā€ for the group.

GOP lawyer Chris Gober also said that the recipients Monday and Tuesday will come from Arizona and Michigan, respectively, and therefore will not affect the Pennsylvania election.

Bribery is still bribery, even if the bait of the bribe is just "a chance at" something rather than the thing itself.
