The prosecution against billionaire Elon Musk’s $1 million giveaways must return to a Philadelphia court, a Pennsylvania federal judge ruled on Nov. 1.

Eastern District of Pennsylvania Judge Gerald Pappert said that Musk failed to identify “any question of federal law that must be resolved” before Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner could continue suing Musk under state law.
