A federal judge has ordered Elon Musk to testify under oath in two proposed class-action lawsuits accusing him of misleading voters with his headline-grabbing $1 million-a-day election giveaway.

In a ruling issued Thursday, U.S. Magistrate Judge Susan Hightower said Musk must sit for a deposition as the lawsuits move forward.

She also recommended allowing one plaintiff to pursue a fraud claim alleging Musk and his political action committee, America PAC, tricked voters into handing over personal information by falsely advertising the giveaway as random. She recommended dismissing a separate breach-of-contract claim.

    I think there might be more than 1 of these going on because I thought he got away with it in one already?

    Edit: The fine print said something else or something and the judge was an idiot.
