Elon Musk was ordered on Wednesday by a federal judge to face a lawsuit by voters accusing the world’s richest person of defrauding them into signing a petition to support the U.S. Constitution for a chance to win his $1 million-a-day giveaway.
U.S. District Judge Robert Pitman in Austin, Texas said Jacqueline McAferty plausibly alleged in her proposed class action that Musk and his political action committee America PAC wrongly induced her to provide personal identifying information as part of the giveaway, late in the 2024 election campaign.
Musk founded America PAC to support Republican Donald Trump’s successful 2024 presidential run.
Sure, but why is that necessary? Why have the state and/or federal prosecutors failed to indict him? His crime was public and notorious; why are they not doing their goddamn jobs?
Some states (not sure if this one was) tried to get an injunction against it and failed in court.
It’s possible that the state doesn’t think they have a strong enough case to win a criminal trial? (Edit assuming this was one of those states)
