Elon Musk Settles Lawsuit Over Those 'Random' Million-Dollar Giveaways

Original version ·

Turns out the world's richest man wasn't exactly playing fair with his massive cash handouts.

Remember when Elon Musk was handing out a million dollars a day to voters? It turns out those winners weren't exactly chosen by a fair, random draw. In a stunning turn of events, Musk’s own legal team admitted in court that the recipients were hand-picked to serve as marketing props.

People who signed his petition thinking they had a shot at a windfall were actually just being used as part of a political PR strategy. After two years of legal headaches and multiple state-level investigations, Musk has finally settled the lawsuits. The terms of the deal are staying under wraps, which is usually code for 'we paid to make this go away.'

It is wild that you can just turn democracy into a rigged game show and call it a day.
