Musk asks to move $1 million lottery case to federal court

In a filing late Wednesday evening, Elon Musk sought to have the lawsuit against his $1 million giveaway moved into federal court, arguing the claims "turn principally on the allegation that defendants are somehow unlawfully interfering with a federal election."

Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner has accused Musk and his America PAC of running an illegal lottery and violating state consumer protection laws.

The filing specifically states "this is not a case" about whether or not Musk violated state or federal laws that prohibit vote buying.

But Musk's Wednesday filing notes the lawsuit’s repeated references to the upcoming presidential election. That includes Krasner’s claim that Musk and his PAC "hatched their illegal lottery scheme to influence voters in that election.”

“The complaint, in truth, has little to do with state-law claims of nuisance and consumer protection," Musk's attorney wrote in his filing.

"Rather, although disguised as state law claims, the complaint’s focus is to prevent defendants’ purported ‘interference’ with the forthcoming federal presidential election by any means."

The filing argues any order in the case would "require judicial intervention into the progress of an ongoing federal election" -- a move they say is not allowed.

The filing comes before a Thursday morning hearing in Philadelphia on the issue.

Vice President Kamala Harris seized an opportunity to criticize former President Donald Trump on abortion after the Republican presidential nominee told a rally Wednesday night that he would protect women "whether the women like it or not."

"Donald Trump thinks he should get to make decisions about what you do with your body," Harris wrote on X. "Whether you like it or not."

Harris's campaign clipped Trump's comments and edited it into a loop with a split screen of headlines about Trump saying "he could prosecute women for abortions," "might monitor pregnancies" and other abortion-related headlines.

Vice President Kamala Harris commented late Wednesday night on the promises former President Donald Trump has allegedly made to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

"Putting an anti-abortion conspiracy theorist in charge of our public health agencies says everything you need to know about how Donald Trump would govern," Harris wrote on X.

"He is more unhinged than ever, and if he wins, he'll have no one to hold him back."

Trump said Sunday of RFK Jr.: "I'm going to let him go wild on health, I'm going to let him go wild on the food, I'm going to let him go wild on medicines."

In response, Trump campaign spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said, "No formal decisions about cabinet and personnel have been made, however, President Trump has said he will work alongside passionate voices like RFK Jr. to make America healthy again."

Vice President Kamala Harris held another get-out-the-vote rally in Madison, Wisconsin, Wednesday, joined by musical stars including Mumford and Sons, The National's Matt Berninger, Gracie Abrams and Remi Wolf.

Harris applauded the audience -- many of whom were young first-time voters -- for using their "power."

"You grew up with active shooter drills, are fighting to keep our schools safe," Harris said. "You will now know fewer rights than your mothers and grandmothers," the vice president added.

"What I know about you is these issues are not theoretical," Harris continued. "This is not political for you. This is your lived experience. And I see you and I see your power. I see your power, and I am so proud of you."

Harris largely stuck to her usual stump speech, contrasting herself to former President Donald Trump by pledging that as president she won't be looking to "score political points," but to "make progress."
