- Elon Musk must attend an emergency court hearing in Philadelphia on Thursday to address a bid by the city’s top prosecutor to stop the Tesla CEO and his political action committee from continuing to award $1 million prizes to registered voters in the swing state of Pennsylvania.
- Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner revealed his lawsuit against Musk and the America PAC “triggered an avalanche of [social media] posts from Musk’s followers,” many of whom “made antisemitic attacks on Krasner.”
- Krasner’s lawsuit accuses Musk and the PAC of operating an illegal lottery and trying to influence voters in the presidential election between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.
Normally I would agree with you, but a Philadelphia DA doesn’t order Musk to appear in person without knowing what he’ll do. It’s warrant bait, pure and simple.
Idk, I hope you’re right. I agree about what it is but I don’t think we agree how it’ll shake out.
I think we want the same shake out, I’m just pessimistic here.
This dude has more money than that whole state. No fucking chance.
PA GDP is over $1T.
What I’m trying to say here is that his budget to remain free will far exceed the states budget to try and put him in prison.
I would love to be wrong on this.
The United States GDP is £25 Trillion. Musk and his peers have £35 Trillion in offshore tax havens (as of 2016).
