Musk settles two lawsuits over 2024 election $1 million giveaway
Elon Musk and his America PAC have agreed to settle two proposed class actions over a $1 million giveaway to voters before the 2024 election, pending court approval.
Elon Musk and his political action committee, America PAC, have agreed to settle two lawsuits over a $1 million giveaway offered to voters before the 2024 election. The settlements need court approval.
The plaintiffs, Musk and America PAC told the judge on Thursday that they had reached settlements, according to The Guardian. The judge oversees the two related cases in federal court in Austin, Texas. The Hill, citing court filings, places the cases in the Western District of Texas.
The suits are proposed class actions. They accuse Musk of defrauding residents of closely contested states by promising a lottery-style giveaway of $1 million. The Guardian describes it as $1 million per day to random signers of a petition.
The reports do not give the settlement terms.
