Promised $1 million in handouts, Arizona voters file fraud lawsuit against Elon

A registered voter in Arizona sued Elon Musk and his pro-Trump super PAC in federal court, accusing them of fraud and lying about her $1 million donation.

The plaintiff, Jacqueline McAferty, signed Musk's petition on October 20, after Musk said the winners would be chosen "at random" from the pool of people who signed his petition in support of the Constitution.

But Musk's lawyers said in a separate court filing that the winners were not chosen at random, but were chosen based on their suitability to promote the pro-Trump super PAC.

"Defendants' statements that individuals who signed the petition would be randomly selected to win $1,000,000 were false, and Defendants knew those statements were false at the time they were made," says the lawsuit, which was filed in Texas.

The lawsuit further states that if McAferty had known she had no chance of receiving $1,000,000, then she would not have signed the petition and provided her personal identifying information to Musk's PAC. including her address and mobile phone number.
