Elon Musk not in attendance at hearing on his controversial giveaway

Musk is a no show in court in Pennsylvania for a hearing over the legality of his $1 million a day giveaway.

The hearing has been derailed after Musk late Wednesday sought to remove the civil case to federal court. While discussions in court are ongoing, all parties essentially agree the hearing can't go forward until federal court decides on the issue.

Philadelphia hearing today on Elon Musk's $1 million voter giveaway

Elon Musk in a filing late Wednesday sought to have the civil 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."

Though District Attorney Larry Krasner has accused Musk and his political action committee of running an illegal lottery and violating state consumer protection laws, Musk's court filing notes the repeated references to the upcoming presidential election in the lawsuit.

The filing comes before a 10 a.m. ET hearing scheduled in Philadelphia on the issue.

Harris seizes on Trump's comment about protecting women 'whether the women like it not'

Harris seized an opportunity to criticize Trump on abortion after for his comments at his rally Wednesday night in which he said 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 posted on X. “Whether you like it or not.”

Harris’ 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.
