Musk agrees to resolve Arizona lawsuits over 2024 voter prize scheme

Elon Musk has agreed to settle two lawsuits brought by Arizona residents over his 2024 voter giveaway, which promised a randomly selected registered voter in a swing state $1 million each day. The settlement terms have not been disclosed; the cases challenged whether the promotion was honestly presented and how entrants’ personal data might be used.

The plaintiffs say they would not have signed the required petition had they known recipients were not chosen at random. In a related Philadelphia case, the district attorney argued the giveaway was an illegal lottery, and a representative for Musk’s America PAC told a judge that the recipients were selected in advance. The plaintiffs also alleged the petition placed no limits on the PAC’s use or sale of collected data.
