Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner, a prominent figure backed by George Soros, has launched a lawsuit against Elon Musk, claiming his million-dollar giveaway encouraging Americans to support the U.S. Constitution constitutes “election interference.” The petition Musk promoted gives Americans a chance to win money simply for signing a statement affirming their support for free speech and the Constitution.
The Department of Justice has echoed Krasner’s concerns, warning that Musk’s initiative could violate federal election laws. Critics contend Musk is pushing a political agenda, while his supporters argue he is merely championing American values. Musk himself insists the petition is about civic principles, not partisan politics.

Commentator Sara Gonzales weighed in, criticizing Democrats for only opposing billionaire influence when it’s conservative. “It’s fine when they do it, but a conservative doing it? They lose their minds,” Gonzales said, pointing to Soros’ history of political donations that often go unquestioned.
Musk responded to the criticism by highlighting the growing impact of Soros-backed DAs. “Putting DAs in office who don’t prosecute crime is insane,” he said, emphasizing that public safety is at risk due to progressive policies. Musk argued that his petition encourages support for the Constitution, contrasting it with Soros’ approach to influence.
Reports indicate that Soros spent $78 million in 2020 and $128 million in 2022 to support Democratic candidates and causes, dwarfing Musk’s efforts in scale. Musk’s backers see his petition as a patriotic reminder rather than political interference, contrasting with Soros’ direct influence on elections.

As the legal battle continues, Musk’s supporters rally behind his pro-Constitution message. The controversy underscores ongoing tensions over the role of wealth in politics, with each side accusing the other of undue influence in American democracy.
