Elon Musk’s America PAC altered a video of a $1 million check recipient, removing the word “vote” after the recipient linked receiving the money to voting in the Wisconsin election. This action followed a Wisconsin Supreme Court race where the candidate Musk supported lost, despite his attempt to incentivize voting through large cash prizes. The altered video aimed to avoid potential legal repercussions under Wisconsin’s election bribery laws, which prohibit paying individuals to vote. Musk later revised his own statements about the giveaway to further distance himself from accusations of illegal inducement.

Musk revised his proposed budget cuts, acknowledging a $2 trillion reduction as an optimistic goal, aiming for a best-case scenario. He suggested that even a fraction of this target would constitute a significant achievement. This revised projection aligns with the skepticism of budget experts who deemed the initial $2 trillion figure unrealistic given the existing $6.8 trillion budget. The revised goal reflects a more pragmatic approach to budget cuts.

Elon Musk’s PAC fired and abandoned canvassers in Michigan, and the situation has left me incredulous. It embodies everything I’ve come to expect from a world where corporate power runs amok, often leaving the little guy in the dust. The actions of this PAC are a microcosm of the larger trend we see with billionaires like Musk and the unchecked influence they wield over our political landscape.
The revelation that canvassers were left stranded feels emblematic of a broader disregard for the people it employs. When I hear of these individuals being transported in a U-Haul and suddenly finding themselves without a job or support, it’s a bitter reminder of how disposable certain entities consider their workforce.… Continue reading
A lawsuit against Tesla CEO Elon Musk and his political action committee (PAC) regarding their $1 million daily giveaways to registered voters has been returned to a state court in Pennsylvania. Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner alleges that Musk and the PAC are running an illegal lottery and attempting to sway voters in the presidential race. Krasner’s request to bar Musk and his PAC from awarding further prizes will be considered by a Philadelphia County Court of Common Pleas judge. The defendants’ claim that the case should be adjudicated in federal court because it pertains to the upcoming election was dismissed by U.S. District Judge Gerald Pappert.

Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner is suing Tesla founder Elon Musk over his super PAC’s intention to give out $1 million a day to voters in key battleground states in the 2024 election.

The recent news of J.D. Vance being booed by an entire crowd during a speech is not surprising at all. This man seems to have a talent for putting his foot in his mouth every time he opens it. The fact that he, an anti-union advocate, was speaking to a firefighters’ union speaks volumes in itself. Of course, there would be boos – he is simply out of touch with the audience he was addressing.
Vance’s attempt to portray himself as a populist and receive claps was met with more boos. It is clear that he lacks the charisma and appeal needed to gain genuine support from the working-class individuals he claims to represent.… Continue reading
As I watched the cringe-worthy video of JD Vance’s awkward encounter at a donut shop, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of second-hand embarrassment. The sheer discomfort exuding from the worker who refused to be on camera with Vance was palpable. Her polite yet firm dismissal of being filmed was met with a tone-deaf response from Vance, who seemed more focused on his own agenda rather than respecting her boundaries.
The way Vance nonchalantly proclaimed, “I’m JD Vance, I’m running for vice president, nice to see you,” only to be met with a lackluster, “Okay,” spoke volumes about his lack of charisma and ability to connect with everyday people.… Continue reading
This latest move by Donald Trump claiming Taylor Swift endorsed him with AI images is just another display of his desperation and lack of integrity. Trump’s history of making baseless claims and spreading misinformation is well-documented, but this instance takes it to a whole new level. To falsely suggest that Taylor Swift, a highly influential and iconic figure, would support his campaign is not just laughable, but also potentially damaging.
In his typical erratic fashion, Trump made comments about Taylor Swift being beautiful and liberal, indicating that he doubts she would support him. Yet, he still went ahead and posted AI-generated images implying her endorsement.… Continue reading
Desperate Trump Returns to X as Poll Numbers Keep Tanking
Desperation seems to be emanating from the former commander-in-chief as he makes a dramatic return to X after a prolonged absence. The plummeting poll numbers must be hitting hard, pushing him back to the platform he once thought was beneath him. It’s almost comical to see someone who prided himself on being larger than life now crawling back to the likes of Musk and Fox for attention, begging for validation from those who were perhaps already in his corner.
The timing of his return is no coincidence, with Truth Social stock on a steady decline and his campaign facing challenges after the surge of the Kamala Harris campaign.… Continue reading
