Philadelphia District Attorney Sues Musk Over $1 Million Voter Giveaways | Larry Krasner, the top prosecutor in Philadelphia said the giveaways amounted to an “unlawful lottery.”

if punishment isnt jailtime, or a % of income then this is just the cost of doing business

In the old days the mob would have broke musk's legs over this

The civil suit, which names Mr. Musk and America PAC as defendants, requests that a state court halt further operation of the sweepstakes in Pennsylvania.

The suit also accuses Mr. Musk and America PAC of violating state consumer protection laws by deploying deceptive or misleading statements. As one example, Mr. Krasner argues that winners are not, in fact, random because “multiple winners that have been selected are individuals who have shown up at Trump rallies in Pennsylvania.”

So just to be clear, this is not criminal charges. This is a civil suit seeking an injunction, and possibly damages (the latter not clear from the article).

It makes sense, I suppose, since a criminal investigation may take more time, but disappointing nonetheless. I predict Musk will continue to do this until he's arrested, deported or the election is over. Criminal charges may or may not follow, but probably won't happen before the election.
