Philadelphia District Attorney Lawrence Krasner sued Musk this week over the $1m (£770,000) giveaways and said Musk "must be stopped, immediately, before the upcoming presidential election".

It is unlikely the case will be resolved before Tuesday's election.

Now they call it an illegal lottery.
It's not a scheme to buy votes, it's not a scheme to force register because PA registration has been closed since start of lottery.
