Winners ‘are not chosen by chance’ and must fulfill ‘contractual obligations’ for America PAC, GOP lawyer tells court
Summary
Elon Musk’s $1 million sweepstakes for his pro-Trump PAC is not random, but rather a way to recruit “spokespeople” for the group.
The lawsuit against Musk and his PAC alleges that the sweepstakes violates consumer protection laws and falsely advertises a random contest.

This was the emergency order to shut it down. Which would have just ended it yesterday, instead of today when it would end anyway.

Hopefully with a different judge.
Touché America. Lmao
I really hope too many people aren't surprised, this being a fraud/grift was a guarantee.
That's the same suit people were bitching about here about with that YouTube kid(Mr. Beast) Lottery fraud or whatever
Edited went back to add name forgot it
It's always a grift with these people.
It's not even surprising anymore. Oh... wow... the Scooby Doo villain's mask came off again... crazy... who ever could have seen that coming... crazy...
It's just tedious.
ZOMG, picking on poor little Elon is LAWFAAAAAAAAARE!!!!11111

A couple of months behind bars would be a brutal wake up call to billionaires that money can't buy everything.
Of course they'd just double down on buying more politicians and judges.
This case was for the emergency order, to shut it down yesterday instead of today when it ends anyway.
There is a criminal cases well.
At least, according to an article that was posted yesterday when this happened
