Elon Musk has been ordered to attend a hearing on Thursday in a lawsuit aiming to block his $1 million-a-day giveaways targeting registered swing state voters.

Glenn Youngkin praised the ruling as “a victory for common sense and election fairness.” However, Danielle Lang of the Campaign Legal Center, representing the Virginia Coalition for Immigrant Rights, condemned the decision, calling it “outrageous.”
