Elon Musk Settles Lawsuit

Elon Musk settled a class action lawsuit over allegations his political action committee falsely told voters they could win $1 million in the 2024 presidential election.

“The Parties have reached a Settlement and respectfully request that the Court vacate all deadlines and stay further proceedings for a period of thirty (30) days to allow the Parties to finalize and execute the settlement agreement and file a Motion for Preliminary Approval”

America PAC Scheme

Musk created America PAC a month before the election to get Trump elected, telling supporters they could win $1 million by sharing personal information and signing a petition.

Non-Random Winners

Winners were not randomly selected but chosen based on their suitability as spokespeople for the PAC, earning $1 million as payment.

Joy Havrick's Claim

Joy Havrick of Arizona alleged she was treated as a 'marketing prop' after signing the petition, claiming she would not have participated if she knew the lottery was not random.

“Had Plaintiff been aware that the lottery was not random, or that she did not have a fair chance to win the prize, or that her selection hinged on her perceived favorability to Defendants as a marketing prop, she would not have signed or supported the America PAC petition and would not have provided her PII [Personal Identifying Information] to Defendants”
