The Tesla and X chief executive has been ordered to attend a hearing on Thursday over a civil suit accusing his political action committee of running an illegal lottery and trying to influence voters.
Elon Musk has been summoned to an emergency court hearing on Thursday over the $1m prizes he has been awarding registered voters in the swing state of Pennsylvania. The Tesla and X chief executive has been ordered by a judge in Philadelphia to address a civil case by the city's top prosecutor to stop Mr Musk and his political action committee, America PAC, from giving the cash away.
America PAC is one of several major political action committees in the US. Such groups can raise and spend unlimited amounts of money in support of political candidates, on the condition that they do not coordinate with their campaigns or give money to them. Mr Trump has said he will give Mr Musk a government job if he becomes president again.
