Politico reports:
A Philadelphia judge moved up and relocated a court hearing on Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner’s lawsuit aimed at halting Elon Musk’s $1 million-a-day giveaway to swing-state voters. The moves followed complaints by Krasner that he’s receiving threats and antisemitic messages in connection with the case.
On the social media platform X, which Musk owns, Musk amplified a post claiming that Krasner knows the suit is meritless and wants a “leftist judge” to shut down the contest. The message resulted in “an avalanche of posts from Musk’s followers,” Krasner wrote in a court filing Wednesday.
Many of the posts were antisemitic and one account repeatedly included Krasner’s home address, encouraging others to visit. “Mask up and leave all cellphones at home,” said the messages, which the DA described as “unquestionably … criminal.”
