IANAL, but I'm not convinced "no it's not an illegal lottery, we actually just deceived the public into thinking it was random" is going to end up being a great defense
Presumably, the strategy is mainly to run out the clock with any eventual fines just being another cost for the PAC to cover, but it seems like they're inviting Krasner to pile on some kind of fraud or deceptive practices allegation

Elon Musk's pro-Trump group does not choose the winners of its $1 million-a-day giveaway to registered voters at random, but instead picks people who would be good spokespeople for its agenda, a lawyer for the billionaire said on Monday.
Musk lawyer Chris Gober was trying to persuade a Pennsylvania judge that the giveaway was not an "illegal lottery."
