Despite a judge’s order that “all parties must be present,” Tesla founder, X owner and billionaire Elon Musk did not appear in a Philadelphia courtroom Thursday after District Attorney Larry Krasner sued him over his super PAC’s plan to award $1 million a day to voters in key battleground states in the 2024 election.
Krasner and members of his office joined attorneys for Musk in Judge Angelo Foglietta’s civil courtroom at City Hall for a hearing Thursday at 10 a.m. ET.
Musk’s attorneys filed documents Wednesday night in the U.S. District Court in Philadelphia, a federal court, requesting the matter be moved to their jurisdiction – and out of the local Court of Common Pleas. A judge granted that transfer.
Attorneys for Krasner said they would contest that recommendation.
He’s just waiting for Trump to win, so he’ll be pardoned, I guess.
Yep, he’s get these charges moved from State to Federal court so Trump can pardon him.
Excuse me, my crimes obviously involved interstate commerce so that I could get charged federally.
Think this qualifies as a civil suit, not criminal as it is the DA sueing him. Theyby nothing can be pardoned. It will likely be thrown out or some shit. He’ll get away with it as always
You can’t be pardoned from a lawsuit. This is not a criminal case, just Musk getting sued, which you can’t get out of with a pardon.
Honestly the best logic to have it moved federal
This isn’t a criminal trial
