Tesla CEO and X owner Elon Musk is trying to get out of his Philadelphia state court hearing Thursday by attempting to move the lawsuit regarding his $1 million voter giveaways to federal court.

A Philadelphia judge plans to hold a hearing Thursday in the city prosecutor's bid to shut down Elon Musk's $1 million-a-day sweepstakes in battleground states. The giveaways come from Musk's political organization, which aims to boost Donald Trump's presidential campaign.

Billions of dollars in advertising are raining down on voters across the Rust Belt, Rocky Mountains and American southwest as the two major political parties portray their opponent's candidates as extreme in a struggle for control of the U.S. Senate.

Election officials in some of the closest swing states have warned the public to be patient as they await results that may not be delivered on Election Night, especially if the outcome is as close as current polling suggests.
