What's That Musk-y Smell? Stealing Personal Information For Trump

 



The South African techno- fascist has a plan to elect the convicted felon Malignant Loser through a PAC that steals personal information under false pretenses:

Elon Musk’s new super PAC is collecting scores of voters’ personal information under the guise of inviting them to register to vote, as part of his effort to boost Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.

Earlier this month, Musk denied reports that he would be donating $45 million a month to Trump’s campaign during an interview with right-wing commentator Jordan Peterson. Instead, the technocrat clarified that he had created a new super PAC, called the America PAC.

Musk’s America PAC is a door-to-door canvassing operation, which allows it to work in direct coordination with the Trump campaign, according to an FEC advisory from earlier this year. This allows Musk, and his fellow Silicon Valley donors, to stick their hands—and their cash—right into the presidential race on Trump’s behalf.

How exactly they plan to do this is even more disturbing.

The America PAC has launched a series of digital ads using the image of Trump’s assassination, to invite people browsing Google to “register to vote,” CNBC reported Friday. In states where the outcome is certain, such as California, the ads actually do direct them to a voter registration site.

But in key battleground states, users are directed to a very different page, which prompts them to enter their phone number, address, and age. Once complete, users are then greeted by a “Thank You” page, with no actual link to voter registration in sight.

Musk’s America PAC has poured $800,000 into digital advertisements to target voters in the key battleground states of Arizona, Michigan, Georgia, North Carolina, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, according to AdImpact. The information collected from user responses to this ad campaign will inform the PAC’s canvassing efforts in those states...

We're not surprised by the fact that this rancid fascist fanboy is funding a Malignant Loser canvassing effort in battleground states where the margin of victory could be similar to what we saw in 2016.  He, like the Malignant Loser, is a seriously damaged person who has the additional burden of having Asperger's syndrome and of being a user of ketamine to battle depression.  If he were not a weird (yes) ultra- rich oligarch using his platform and money to elect a fellow fascist, we would have more sympathy for his medical/ mental condition.  As it is, he needs to be called out for what he is and what he's doing to destroy American democracy.

Spread the word.  If you're looking to register to vote in a battleground state, beware!
