Elon Musk lawyer says $1 mln voter giveaway winners are not random - eviltoast

Elon Musk’s pro-Trump group does not choose the winners of its $1 million-a-day giveaway to registered voters at random, but instead picks people who would be good spokespeople for its agenda, a lawyer for the billionaire said on Monday.

“There is no prize to be won, instead recipients must fulfill contractual obligations to serve as a spokesperson for the PAC,” Gober said in the hearing before Judge Angelo Foglietta, referring to Musk’s political action committee, known as America PAC.

      Remember how Elon lost a court case and was forced by contracts to buy Twitter?

      This isn’t Trump. This is an Elon Musk situation. The law can, and will, fuck Elon over. The doofus isn’t anywhere as slippery as Trump.
