Elon Musk’s million-dollar giveaway, designed to encourage support for the U.S. Constitution, is facing legal action from Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner, who is financially backed by George Soros. Musk’s initiative, launched in swing states, allows participants to enter a drawing if they sign a petition affirming support for free speech and the Constitution. However, Krasner has branded this as “election interference.”
The Department of Justice has also voiced concerns, indicating Musk’s actions could infringe on federal election laws. Yet Musk’s backers argue that the campaign is simply meant to reinforce constitutional rights and encourage civic engagement. According to Musk, his initiative has nothing to do with swaying votes but instead celebrates foundational American principles.

Sara Gonzales, a conservative commentator, expressed frustration over Democrats’ response, calling out what she described as hypocrisy. “It’s only election interference when it’s a conservative,” she remarked. Gonzales pointed to Soros’ own contributions to Democratic causes, suggesting that billionaire influence only seems objectionable when it benefits conservative efforts.
Musk took a defiant stance, arguing that America’s justice system is under siege by Soros-backed progressive policies. “Putting DAs in that don’t prosecute crime is insane,” Musk said. He criticized the impact of Soros’ funding on local justice systems, claiming that Americans are paying the price for such political strategies.

According to financial disclosures, Soros has invested substantial sums to influence Democratic candidates and maintain political majorities, with $78 million spent in 2020 and $128 million in 2022. Musk’s defenders argue that his petition is minor in comparison, serving only as a reminder of constitutional values rather than direct political manipulation.
As Musk faces legal challenges, his supporters hope to see a broader conversation on billionaire influence. While the lawsuit plays out, Musk’s initiative underscores the divide over political engagement and the role of wealth in shaping public opinion.
