Oct 28 (Reuters) - The Philadelphia District Attorney's

Office filed a lawsuit seeking to stop a political action

committee controlled by billionaire Elon Musk from awarding $1

million to registered U.S. voters in battleground states, CNBC

reported on Monday.

A spokesperson for the prosecutor's office in Pennsylvania's

largest city did not immediately respond to a request for

comment.

In response to a request for comment, a spokesperson for

Musk's America PAC, which backs Republican former President

Donald Trump, sent a link to the group's latest post on X, which

was published after news of the lawsuit.

The post identified a Michigan resident who received the $1

million prize, and said additional awards would be handed out

every day until the Nov. 5 election.

The Justice Department has sent a letter to America PAC

warning that the billionaire Tesla chief executive's

giveaways may violate federal law, CNN reported last week,

citing people briefed on the matter.

Pennsylvania is one of the swing states where the

presidential election between Trump and Vice President Kamala

Harris, a Democrat, is set to be decided.
