A federal judge has ordered Elon Musk to testify under oath in two proposed class-action lawsuits accusing him of misleading voters with his headline-grabbing $1 million-a-day election giveaway.

In a ruling issued Thursday, U.S. Magistrate Judge Susan Hightower said Musk must sit for a deposition as the lawsuits move forward.

She also recommended allowing one plaintiff to pursue a fraud claim alleging Musk and his political action committee, America PAC, tricked voters into handing over personal information by falsely advertising the giveaway as random. She recommended dismissing a separate breach-of-contract claim.

Make an example of this awful criminal domestic terrorist.

Seize the wealth, lock him up or execute for millions dead via dismantling USAID and redistribute that wealth to improve society.

Fuck every criminal billionaire.
