A Philadelphia judge has denied City of Brotherly Love DA Larry Krasner’s effort to block billionaire Elon Musk from giving away daily $1 million payouts to registered swing state voters.
Since Oct. 19, the SpaceX and Tesla CEO has given away $16 million to lucky voters who have signed his petition backing freedom of speech and the right to bear arms.
To be eligible for the seven-figure raffle prize, signatories must also be registered to cast a ballot in one of the seven swing states that will decide the election: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
Krasner argued that the giveaways amounted to an illegal lottery, but Judge Angelo Foglietta spurned the DA’s bid to stop the prizes immediately.
Musk, who has endorsed former President Donald Trump, is expected to reveal the final prize winner on Election Day.
