(Reuters) -Elon Musk was ordered on Wednesday by a federal judge to face a lawsuit by voters accusing the world's richest person of defrauding them into signing a petition to support the U.S. Constitution for a chance to win his $1 million-a-day giveaway.

U.S. District Judge Robert Pitman in Austin, Texas said Jacqueline McAferty plausibly alleged in her proposed class action that Musk and his political action committee America PAC wrongly induced her to provide personal identifying information as part of the giveaway, late in the 2024 election campaign.

Lawyers for Musk and America PAC did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Musk founded America PAC to support Republican Donald Trump's successful 2024 presidential run.

If you worth 50k he’s worth 500,000 million do the math comes out to 10 cents. Hope you can afford it

He will just return to some other country and continue to influence our political process from wherever he is.

See, money has this ability to be transferred from one place to another. And, as to those who think we could stop it from happening, we can't even stop the theft of our own country by these animals and we were well aware of their intentions before hand!

(Well, we could but I guess that will be one of those debates that happens after we are all in sackcloth and ashes.)
