Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Philadelphia Sues Elon Musk, Alleging Illegal Lottery to Influence Voters
Caption: Philadelphia Sues Elon Musk, Alleging Illegal Lottery to Influence Voters. Philadelphia prosecutors have filed a lawsuit to block Elon Musk and his group, America PAC from giving away $1 million daily to voters in swing states, calling it an "illegal lottery”. Philadelphia District Attorney Lawrence Krasner argues that the scheme, which offers a $1 million prize to registered voters, every day until November 5, is aimed at influencing the upcoming presidential election. The U.S. Justice Department recently warned that this $1 million giveaway could violate federal election laws. To qualify, voters must provide personal information and sign a pledge supporting the U.S. Constitution. So far, nine winners have been announced. The lawsuit claims that Musk's initiative uses "deceptive" tactics, misleading voters into sharing personal data and making political pledges for a chance to win. Krasner is pushing for an injunction, alleging that Musk’s efforts are an attempt to sway voters. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
