Complaint alleges Musk's America Pac deceived voters by falsely claiming prize winners would be chosen at random

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 $1m-a-day giveaway, and now claim it was a fraud.

The complaint, filed by the Arizona resident Jacqueline McAferty in federal court, said Musk and his America Pac organization falsely induced voters to sign a petition by claiming they would choose winners by chance. In fact, members of the Pac selected the winners, the suit alleges. Musk's own attorneys said in court that the sweepstakes' results were not random; they disclosed that the winners were chosen to be spokespeople for the group.
