A lawyer for Elon Musk’s political action committee told a judge in Philadelphia that so-called “winners” of his one million dollars-a-day voter sweepstakes in swing states are not chosen by chance, but are instead chosen to be paid “spokespeople” for the group.

Lawyer Chris Gober also said that some recipients will come from Arizona and Michigan, and therefore will not affect the Pennsylvania election.
