Nov 5 (Reuters) - Elon Musk was sued in a proposed class action on Tuesday by registered voters who signed his petition to support the Constitution for a chance to win his $1 million-a-day giveaway, and now claim it was a fraud.

The complaint filed by Arizona resident Jacqueline McAferty in the Austin, Texas federal court said Musk and his America PAC organization falsely induced voters to sign by claiming they would choose winners randomly, though they were predetermined.

She also said the defendants profited from the giveaway by driving traffic and attention to Musk’s X social media platform, and by collecting personal information such as her name, address and phone number that they could sell.

A lawyer for Musk and lawyers for McAferty did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the complaint.

1. There are a lot of problems emerging with musk.

He's played it fast and loose for a long fucking time.

4. Musk is a serious national security risk

He’s far too chummy with Putin.

2. Oh goody!

After that clusterfuk in Pennsylvania, where he basically said it's not a lottery we already picked the people. But then he's advertising it as a lottery to the people,
It was just a matter of time before it came back and bit him in the ass. He can't have it both ways. And I am praying that the FEC will go after him as well!!!
