Musk Settles Lawsuits Over $1 Million Election Giveaway

The plaintiffs, residents from Arizona, alleged that Musk misled voters across seven battleground states. They argued the giveaway, which required participants to sign a petition supporting the U.S. Constitution, was a deceptive tactic to boost support for Donald Trump’s presidential campaign. While Musk and his political action committee maintained their innocence throughout the proceedings, the filing signals a swift end to the legal challenge.

Specific terms of the agreement remain under seal, and legal representatives for both sides have declined to provide further details pending final judicial approval. The settlement concludes a high-profile dispute that previously resulted in a court order requiring Musk to testify. The resolution marks a quiet exit from a controversy that drew intense scrutiny regarding the intersection of campaign finance and incentivized voter participation.
