Elon Musk faces lawsuit over alleged fraud in $1 million a day giveaway
Washington: Elon Musk was hit with a proposed class-action lawsuit on Tuesday, filed by Arizona resident Jacqueline McAferty in a Texas federal court, alleging that his recent $1 million-a-day giveaway was fraudulent. McAferty claims that Musk and his America PAC organization misled registered voters into signing a petition by promising random prize selection, while winners were actually predetermined.
The lawsuit follows a separate legal challenge from Philadelphia’s district attorney, Larry Krasner, who unsuccessfully sought to end the giveaway, calling it an illegal lottery. Tuesday’s suit demands $5 million in damages for all affected signees.
The complaint argues that Musk benefited from the promotion by driving user traffic to X, his social media platform, and collecting personal information from participants that could be monetized. Musk, a supporter of Donald Trump in the presidential race, offered this giveaway to voters in seven key battleground states, ostensibly to rally support for the Constitution, free speech, and gun rights.
