(International)1 Million Dollar Trump Raffle is Likely to Continue…The Court Decided to Postpone the Court’s Request for Postponement of Trial

Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s daily $1 million (about 1.4 billion won) bounty to encourage conservatives in the United States to register voters may continue until just before the presidential election.

U.S. District Judge Angelo Poglieta of Pennsylvania ordered a postponement of the hearing until the federal court decides whether to take up the case over a lawsuit aimed at stopping Musk’s prize-winning activities against voters, according to Reuters and other reports. plaintiff

He stated at the hearing that America Pack did not explain clear rules regarding the reward offer and did not make a clear statement regarding voter privacy.

On the other hand, Musk’s side argued that the case was under the jurisdiction of the federal court and criticized the Philadelphia prosecutor’s office for creating a “circus atmosphere” by naming Musk as the defendant.

On the 28th of last month, Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krazner filed a civil lawsuit in Philadelphia District Court against USA Pack, a political fundraising group founded by CEO Musk to support former President Trump’s election, asking Musk to stop paying the reward money.

“We have a responsibility to protect the public from unfair business practices, including illegal lottery tickets,” Krazner, the district attorney’s office, said in a statement after the case, adding that prosecutors also held the public responsible for sabotaging the integrity of the election. .

The lawsuit filed by the Philadelphia District Attorney comes after the U.S. Department of Justice warned on the 23rd of last month that America Pack’s action of collecting $1 million in prize money for voters in rival states could violate federal law.

Previously, Musk promised to choose a random resident each day and give $1 million to a resident who signed a petition supporting Amendments 1 (freedom of speech) and 2 (guarantees of gun rights) to encourage conservatives to register voters in rival states. .

The right to sign the petition was limited to those registered as voters in seven rival states, including Arizona, Michigan, Georgia, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
