## Musk's million-dollar voter promise
In 2024, Elon Musk promised to give away one million dollars a day to a randomly selected registered voter in a swing state.
## The fraud claim emerges
Two Arizona residents sued Musk, claiming the lottery was fraudulent. Philadelphia's District Attorney also sued, arguing it was an illegal lottery operation.
## Recipients were predetermined
During a hearing, Chris Gober, representing Musk's America PAC, told the judge: "The one million dollar recipients are not chosen by chance.

> The $1 million recipients are not chosen by chance … We know exactly who will be announced as the $1 million recipient today and tomorrow.
## Settlement reached in secret
Musk has agreed to settle the two lawsuits filed in Austin, Texas. The details of the settlement have not been made public.
## Key takeaway

Elon Musk has settled lawsuits from Arizona residents who claimed his promised one million dollar daily voter giveaway was fraudulent, not random as claimed.
