Elon Musk’s $1 million sweepstakes for his pro-Trump PAC is not random, but rather a way to recruit “spokespeople” for the group.

Despite the admission of liability, the judge allowed the sweepstakes to continue.

      This was the emergency order to shut it down. Which would have just ended it yesterday, instead of today when it would end anyway.

      There’s still a criminal case proceeding.

      Hopefully with a different judge.
