The court will not proceed with the case against Elon Musk. A judge in Pennsylvania said this on Thursday (October 31). As a result, it is unlikely that Mask's $100,000 lottery will be closed before the November 5 election. British news agency Reuters reported this.
At the Pennsylvania hearing, Judge Angelo Fazlietta said the federal court is reviewing whether to accept the case. Therefore, it has been decided to postpone the hearing for the time being.
There are no signs of the case being resolved before Tuesday's election. As a result, there is no legal bar against Musk giving gifts of money to voters.
However, Elon Musk was not present at the hearing in defiance of court summons.
American billionaires are spending dollars generously on the campaign of Republican candidate Donald Trump. Part of that activity was the announcement of a million dollar lottery. He arranged for the money to be paid to one voter each day until the election in seven highly contested swing states. The conditions for participation in the lottery were two- to be a registered voter and to sign a petition in support of free speech and gun-carrying laws.
Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Kressner is trying to stop Musk's donation initiative. He alleged that the Tesla and SpaceX owners had organized it to sway voters in hotly contested states.
In the upcoming election, former President Donald Trump and Democratic candidate Kamala Harris may have a close fight. Seven swing states play an important role in determining the heads of the world's most powerful countries. As a result, Musk's lottery is likely to have considerable influence on the Oval Office leadership selection.
