Musk is supporting Republican candidate Donald Trump in the presidential election campaign. Last month, the boss of SpaceX and Tesla announced to raffle off a million dollars a day until the election to those who signed a conservative petition and are registered to vote in one of the seven states determining the election. Krasner then sued Musk and his lobbying group America PAC over what he called “illegal lottery system” classified raffle to stop.
The prospect of a million dollars was intended to mobilize voters who could vote for Trump and would otherwise have stayed at home. The US Department of Justice had warned America PAC, the lobby group founded by Musk to support Trump, the action may be illegal. According to America PAC’s website, 16 US citizens have received the $1 million so far, including four in Pennsylvania.
