Long gone are the innocent days when media outlets claimed the independence and nuance of the politics of Elon Musk. Now, amid myriad X posts spreading far-right propaganda on immigrants, trans people, and, well, just about any other topic, it has become obvious where one of the richest men in the world stands.
This week, there was more proof that Musk has put his money where his mouth has been. According to a report from the Wall Street Journal, Musk poured tens of millions of dollars into Republican campaigns and conservative groups even before he publicly endorsedDonald Trump in July. Conservatives helped conceal Musk’s contributions through so-called social welfare or “dark money” groups that do not have to disclose their donors and can raise unlimited funds. (Musk did not respond to the Journal’s request for comment.)
One piece of reporting stood out. The newspaper found that the tech billionaire donated more than $50 million in 2022 for campaign advertisements by Citizens for Sanity, a group connected to former Trump aide Stephen Miller and his non-profit America First Legal, which bills itself as “the long-awaited answer to the ACLU.”
Elon, a South African immigrant to the United States is anti-immigration.
His gay Paypal co-founder Peter Thiel is anti-gay and a proponent of project 2025 and the reason we have JD Vance-in-your-pants.
Two fucking tech bro ladder pulling stinky unwashed assholes.
I think it’s very important to understand that he is not anti immigration for the same reason as the right wing voter. He is probably solely to keep immigration wages lowwwwwwe
I feel like “unwashed” is doing some heavy lifting here. I agree tho
Most people that are for lower immigration aren’t anti all immigration.
People usually want lower numbers, and more educated immigrants.
