Elon Musk Settles Fraud Lawsuits over His $1 Million Giveaways to 2024 Election Voters
The settlement follows allegations that the PAC misled voters into sharing personal information for a chance at $1 million prizes, with winners preselected.
- On Thursday, Elon Musk and his America PAC agreed to settle two class-action lawsuits in Austin, Texas, involving allegations they defrauded voters with a daily $1 million giveaway.
- Arizona residents, including Joy Havrick, alleged Musk misled voters in seven swing states into signing a petition by promising $1 million daily to randomly selected signatories.
- Plaintiffs argued they were used as marketing props, while Musk's PAC previously defended the payouts, arguing winners were selected "based on their suitability" rather than a random lottery.
- The parties requested the Court vacate all deadlines and stay proceedings for 30 days to finalize the settlement, though specific financial terms were not immediately disclosed.
- Musk founded the America PAC to support President Donald Trump's 2024 presidential run, and the organization faced multiple lawsuits following the election as it sought to influence key battleground states.
