Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner has made the decision to drop the case against Elon Musk’s America PAC, as confirmed by a report from the New York Times. This announcement comes after Musk’s America PAC gained attention for its daily $1 million giveaways to registered voters who signed a petition supporting the First and Second Amendments during the final weeks leading up to the U.S. presidential elections.
The document filed by Krasner, which was also shared on social media platform X, stated that the case against America PAC should be “Discontinued and Ended as to all parties without prejudice, with all parties bearing their own costs.”
Krasner, a Democrat, had sought an injunction to prevent further giveaways in Pennsylvania, claiming that America PAC’s daily $1 million giveaway violated state lottery and consumer protection laws. According to an Axios report, Krasner also accused Musk’s PAC of using deceptive and misleading statements that could cause confusion or misunderstanding among the public.
Despite Krasner’s efforts, a state judge declined to move the case forward. Judge Angelo Foglietta decided to place the lawsuit on hold while a federal court considers whether to take up the case, as reported by Reuters. Musk expressed his support for Judge Foglietta’s decision, celebrating it with a post on X that read, “American Justice FTW.”
The decision to drop the case against America PAC marks a significant development in the legal battle surrounding Musk’s controversial $1 million giveaways. As the story continues to unfold, it will be interesting to see how this decision impacts the future of political fundraising and campaign strategies in the digital age.
