On November 5, CNN reporter Marshall Cohen posted on social media that Musk's attorney, Chris Gober, stated that the $1 million Musk donates daily is not a lottery, with no prize to win, and recipients are not randomly chosen. Instead, the $1 million is the salary they 'earn' as Musk's personal Trump super PAC spokesman. Gober stated that recipients are chosen based on their 'fit' and personal stories. In response, the Philadelphia prosecutor's team stated that Musk has 'fully admitted responsibility,' violating Pennsylvania law by running an illegal lottery. Gober argued that there is a distinction between 'random' and 'chance,' which is why he claims it does not fall under Pennsylvania's gambling laws as an illegal lottery. BlockBeats previously reported that Musk's PAC was sued by the Philadelphia prosecutors, demanding the cessation of the $1 million lottery activity.
