Despite a judge’s order that “all parties must be present,” Tesla founder, X owner and billionaire Elon Musk did not appear in a Philadelphia courtroom Thursday after District Attorney Larry Krasner sued him over his super PAC’s plan to award $1 million a day to voters in key battleground states in the 2024 election.

Krasner and members of his office joined attorneys for Musk in Judge Angelo Foglietta’s civil courtroom at City Hall for a hearing Thursday at 10 a.m. ET.

Musk’s attorneys filed documents Wednesday night in the U.S. District Court in Philadelphia, a federal court, requesting the matter be moved to their jurisdiction – and out of the local Court of Common Pleas. A judge granted that transfer.

Attorneys for Krasner said they would contest that recommendation.

    Did it help? Was there any lasting effect that you noticed, good or bad? MDMA is the only thing I’ve tried that helped me break through some significant barriers and had positive effects after sobering up that have continued for over a decade. In the right setting I would be up for taking it again.

      It did not help, I wound up spiraling and flipping between large amounts of LSD and large amounts of benzos. Ended in a suicide attempt.

      Lasting affects are I really have a great sense of how my thoughts work. I’ve been sober for almost 7 years now and stable for a good 6. No real negative mental or physical affects other than the mess I made of my life. I’m an addict so I know I won’t be able to try to use these things even in a controlled setting.

        That sounds scary and dangerous, good work with the sobriety! I have had addictions that I cannot go near again because I know I don’t have the ability to control them “in moderation,” and it’s a lot of effort to stay away but worth it.
