The world’s richest man continued stumping for former President Donald J. Trump and pushing conspiracy theories about voting fraud.

In late October, a lawsuit from Philadelphia’s district attorney accused the billionaire of running an “illegal lottery scheme” by giving swing state voters who signed a Musk PAC’s petition supporting conservative causes the chance to randomly win $1m in a daily prize drawing.

It was barely the afternoon of Election Day on the East Coast when Elon Musk decided, based on vague claims of high male turnout he saw online, that men would deliver Donald Trump a decisive victory in a close presidential race.
