Elon Musk and his political action committee are seeking to move the Philadelphia District Attorney’s lawsuit targeting their $1 million swing state voter lottery to federal court.

Lawyers for Musk and his America PAC late Wednesday filed a notice of removal in Pennsylvania federal court for DA Larry Krasner’s suit, hours after a Philadelphia County judge ordered Musk to personally appear for an emergency hearing in the case to determine whether the lottery should be halted.

That hearing is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. in a Philadelphia City Hall courtroom. It is not clear if that hearing will proceed as planned given the notice of removal in federal court.
