Elon Musk failed to show up to a required hearing in a Philadelphia case challenging his $1m-a-day sweepstakes. His absence would have risked contempt of court had the case continued in Pennsylvania court, but it was moved to federal court in response to a motion filed by Musk’s attorneys, who did attend the hearing.

On Wednesday, the judge had ordered all parties to attend the Thursday – morning hearing. Musk’s attorneys filed a motion to shift the suit from Pennsylvania state court to federal court in a filing late on Wednesday, which was granted shortly after Musk did not appear. Lawyers for the Philadelphia district attorney’s office said they would request the case be returned to state court.
