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.

T''gana govt accorded top priority to Muslim welfare, development : CM Reddy
Hyderabad (PTI): Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Sunday said the Congress government has accorded top priority to the welfare and development of the Muslim community in the state.
Speaking at the 'Iftar' event hosted by the state government here, he observed that Ramzan is the holy month of spiritual purification.
"We must foster brotherhood and live together in communal harmony," Reddy said while cautioning that some political forces are attempting to create communal tension by dividing people in the country.
"This government is yours. I am your brother. All must stand unitedly to take Telangana and the country forward. Your prayers are very important for the government. Some people try to create divisions amongst us and we should not fall into it," he said.
He highlighted substantial allocation of funds to the Muslim minorities in every government initiative.
Telangana ministers including Mohammad Azharuddin, AIMIM president and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi were among those who were present on the occasion.
