Musk Due in Court as $1 Million Voter Give-away Faces Courtroom Test

The give-away has captured media attention due to its audacity

Elon Musk has been ordered to attend a Thursday hearing in a prosecutor's lawsuit to block the billionaire's $1 million-a-day give-away to registered swing state voters ahead of the U.S. election on Nov. 5.

The hearing before Judge Angelo Foglietta concerns Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner's bid to halt the giveaway less than a week before the tightly contested U.S. presidential election between Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris and Republican former president Donald Trump.

Krasner, who championed progressive causes when running for district attorney, accuses Tesla CEO Musk, an ardent Trump supporter, and his political action committee America PAC of hatching an "illegal lottery scheme to influence voters."
