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.

          No problem, its actually chemically similar to MDMA, which is euphoric and beautiful, the colours are brighter, the food tastes better, music sounds amazing, you feel no need to sleep, but obviously after 4-5 days of that it gets to be unnerving, you can begin to get irritable and begin making poor choices. Its honestly sometimes the best and worst times of my life.

          Fun anecdote I once was manic I became so confused that I convinced myself LSD would cure depression and wound up taking close to 2000 tabs over the course of 4 months. Just wild

            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.
