Elon Musk is appearing at a court hearing in Philadelphia today after District Attorney Larry Krasner sued Musk and his pro-Trump super PAC over his $1 million daily voter giveaway, which Krasner called an “illegal lottery scheme.” DA Krasner has called for additional court security after Krasner was subjected to antisemitic harassment, threats and doxxing on the social media site X, which is owned by Musk.
This comes as Wired reports workers who were hired by Musk’s America PAC as canvassers were deceived by the contracting firm that hired them. The workers report being flown out to Michigan, driven in the back of a seatless U-Haul, and threatened they would have to cover their own motel bills unless they met their quotas. One contractor told Wired they had no idea they had been hired to help Donald Trump until after they signed a nondisclosure agreement.
