Elon Musk doesn't show at Philadelphia hearing over super PAC's $1 million lottery for voters
Despite a judge's order that "all parties must be present," Tesla founder, X owner and billionaire Elon Musk did not appear in a Philadelphia courtroom Thursday after District Attorney Larry Krasner sued him over his super PAC's plan to award $1 million a day to voters in key battleground states in the 2024 election.
Krasner and members of his office joined attorneys for Musk in Judge Angelo Foglietta's civil courtroom at City Hall for a hearing Thursday at 10 a.m. ET.
Musk's attorneys filed documents Wednesday night in the U.S. District Court in Philadelphia, a federal court, requesting the matter be moved to their jurisdiction – and out of the local Court of Common Pleas. A judge granted that transfer.
Attorneys for Krasner said they would contest that recommendation.
More proof that billionaires are treated like a special class that the law can't touch. Cool.
After all the slaps on the wrist Trump has received for various things that would either bankrupt most people or land them in jail, I don't know if I've got room in the cart for another of these examples.
Look, he hangs around billionaires because he's also a rapist and a leech but he's not a billionaire.
Not granted the rank of master and all that.
🤣
