Elon Musk Ordered to Answer Questions Under Oath Over $1M Voter Giveaway
An Austin federal magistrate judge has ordered Elon Musk to testify under oath in two proposed class-action lawsuits over his 2024 $1 million-a-day voter giveaway.
The lawsuits accuse Musk and America PAC of misleading voters in swing states by saying winners would be chosen randomly from people who signed a petition supporting the U.S. Constitution.

U.S. District Judge Robert Pitman will review that recommendation.

The story is drawing visible online reaction, including a r/Austin post with more than 1,000 votes, reflecting both local court interest and national attention around Musk’s political spending.
