Second lawsuit filed against Elon Musk’s $1 million giveway

Registered voters who signed a Constitution-supporting petition by Elon Musk filed a class-action lawsuit Tuesday, claiming a giveaway for petition signers was fraud. 

Arizona resident Jacqueline McAferty filed the suit in the Austin, Texas, federal court, according to Reuters. Musk and his America PAC organization are named in the suit, which accuses them of falsely enticing voters to sign the petition on the belief winners would be selected randomly. The suit claims the winners were predetermined. 

McAfterty also claims that the defendants profited from the petition because it drove traffic to Musk’s social media platform, X, and gave them personal information that could be sold. 

Her lawsuit comes one day after a Philadelphia judge ruled that the $1 million giveaway can continue through Election Day, after attorneys for Musk's political action committee said the results of the giveaway were not "random" like Musk had advertised.

Musk launched the daily giveaway last month, which was organized to give $1 million to one voter from a swing state every day until the election, if they signed a petition in support of the First and Second Amendments of the U.S. Constitution.
