Philly DA asks for more security for Elon Musk hearing
The Philadelphia district attorney who is bringing a lawsuit to stop Elon Musk's $1 million voter giveaway asked the judge overseeing the case Wednesday to "enhance its security" for an upcoming hearing in the matter.
DA Larry Krasner said in a new court filing Musk's post about the case on X has "triggered an avalanche of posts." including "antisemitic attacks" against the prosecutor.
One account was "inviting political violence" and posted Krasner's home address, according to the filing.
"These posts, which unquestionable are criminal.... and remain posted on Musk's X website today," the filing states.
Another post read "Krasner loves visitors. Mask up and leave all cellphones at home," according to the filing.
"The directives to 'mask up' and to 'leave all cellphones at home' are to prevent identification of illegal actors by video, by eyewitnesses, and by cellphone geolocation," the filing states.
Representatives for Musk did not immediately respond to ABC News for comment.
The hearing in the case is set for Friday at 10am.
