Class action claims Elon Musk broke promise to pay America PAC petition signers in Pennsylvania
A new class action lawsuit alleges that Elon Musk, America PAC and Group America failed to compensate some Pennsylvania voters who were told they would be paid for signing a petition in support of the First and Second Amendments.
Plaintiff John Doe’ s class action lawsuit claims Musk, America PAC and Group America failed to pay registered voters in Pennsylvania $ 47, and later increased to $ 100, to sign the petition and for each successful referral of a registered voter who signed it.
Doe argues he and other class members accepted the defendants’ offers by signing the petition and successfully referring other registered voters to sign it.
“ Defendants have since failed to pay Plaintiff and Class Members in full for their signatures and referrals,” the Elon Musk petition class action states.
Doe wants to represent a class of all persons who were registered to vote in Pennsylvania when they signed the America PAC petition and all persons who successfully referred a Pennsylvania registered voter to sign the petition but did not receive the agreed-upon payments.
Doe argues the defendants failed to pay him the full promised amounts for his referrals and that he estimates he is owed at least $ 20,000 for them.
“ Plaintiff has repeatedly contacted Defendants, making multiple attempts to receive full payment for his referrals, but to no avail,” the Elon Musk petition class
92 The Trial Lawyer action explains.
Doe claims the defendants are guilty of breach of contract and promissory estoppel and violated the Pennsylvania Wage Payment and Collection Law.
The plaintiff demands a jury trial and requests declaratory and injunctive relief and an award of compensatory and consequential damages for himself and all class members.
BMW class action alleges fire risk in certain vehicles
A new class action lawsuit accuses BMW of selling vehicles with defective electrical connectors on their water pumps that can pose a fire risk.
The plaintiff claims BMW was aware of the defect but failed to disclose it to consumers. The defect can cause an electrical short circuit, potentially leading to a fire.
“ When a vehicle manufacturer discovers a defect, it must explicitly disclose the defect and make it right or cease selling the vehicle,” the BMW fire risk class action says.
The plaintiff wants to represent a nationwide class and North Carolina subclass of consumers who purchased or leased certain BMW models manufactured between 2012 and 2018, including the X1, Z4, 528i, X5, 2 Series, X3, X4, 3 Series, and 4 Series.
BMW recalled more than 720,000 vehicles in August 2024 due to the defect, according to the BMW fire risk class action, which argues the recall did not fully compensate consumers for the diminished value and inconvenience caused by the defect.
“ Rather than refunding or reimbursing Plaintiff and Class members the difference in value related to the diminished resale value, Defendant has offered to simply fix the Class Vehicles with a fix that appears to do no more than replace the defective systems with no guarantee that the root cause of the problem is solved,” the BMW fire risk class action claims.
Plaintiff claims BMW is guilty of unjust enrichment, strict liability and breach of implied warranty of merchantability, and in violation of North Carolina’ s Unfair and Deceptive Trade Practices Act and the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act.
The plaintiff demands a jury trial and requests declaratory and injunctive relief and an award of actual, general, special, incidental, statutory and consequential damages for himself and all class members.
