Musk's sweepstakes winners were vetted, signed NDAs: Political adviser
Before announcing the winners of Elon Musk's $1 million giveaway, America PAC employees conducted background checks on them, vetted their social media and had them sign non-disclosure agreements, Elon Musk's political adviser Chris Young testified during an ongoing hearing in Philadelphia on Monday.
The inside look at how winners were selected is at odds with how Musk himself described the "random" selection process.
"Were you surprised that he used the word 'randomly'?" Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner's attorney, John Summers, asked.
"That's not the word I would have selected," Young said.
Young testified that he reviewed candidates based on the location of Musk's next rally before vetting the people who signed America PAC's petition in support of the First and Second amendments.
