Musk previously advertised the selection as random, but the fine print of the petition that applicants need to sign to enter the giveaway doesn’t mention it. \n\nKrasner accused the PAC of running an illegal lottery and deceptively marketing the prize selections as random, even though “multiple winners that have been selected are individuals who have shown up at Trump rallies in Pennsylvania.” While the PAC’s admission at the hearing seemed to confirm that suspicion, it also undermined the idea that the giveaway is a lottery at all.\n\nThe PAC lists two additional giveaways on its site to take place on Monday and Tuesday. Those prizes are slated to go to voters in Arizona and Michigan, respectively.\n\nIt’s not yet clear what Judge Angelo Foglietta’s reasoning was behind denying the emergency injunction, but he said in a court filing that his findings would be forthcoming.\n"}</script><link rel="preload" as="image"
