Musk has so far given nearly $120 million to America PAC, according to federal disclosures

A judge in the battleground state of Pennsylvania on Monday will weigh whether to stop Elon Musk’s $1 million-a-day giveaway to registered voters ahead of the US presidential election.Since October 19, Tesla CEO Musk has been giving a $1 million cheque every day to a randomly selected voter who has signed his petition supporting free speech and gun rights.

The Trump campaign is broadly reliant on outside groups for canvassing voters, meaning the super PAC founded by Musk, the world’s richest man, plays an outsized role in a razor-thin election. Philadelphia is the largest city in Pennsylvania, one of seven battleground states likely to determine the outcome of the race between Trump and Harris. Whichever candidate wins the state will receive its 19 electoral votes out of a total of 270 needed to win.But on Friday, US District Judge Gerald Pappert in Philadelphia federal court said the case belonged in state court and later that day Judge Angelo Foglietta scheduled a hearing in the case.
