If you thought the 2024 election was decided by the people, think again. It was bought—by one man with more money than morals. Elon Musk didn’t just donate to Trump’s campaign; he orchestrated a full-scale influence operation, from rigging voter engagement with cash incentives to bankrolling a deceptive disinformation campaign. Let’s break it down.
Musk’s $288 Million to Trump’s Campaign
Money talks, and Musk made sure his spoke the loudest. He funneled $288 million into Trump’s campaign, elevating himself from just another billionaire donor to a full-fledged political kingmaker. His investment wasn’t just about backing Trump—it was about securing a government that would work in his favor.
The $1 Million-a-Day ‘Voter Sweepstakes’
Musk’s America PAC launched a $1 million-a-day voter sweepstakes, targeting swing-state voters. The deal? Sign a petition supporting ‘free speech’ (aka Musk’s personal brand of unregulated disinformation) and the Second Amendment, and you’d be entered to win a million bucks. Sounds like an innocent giveaway? Think again. Critics called it thinly veiled vote-buying, with legal experts questioning its legitimacy. But Musk, like always, skirted accountability.
The Disinformation Mail-Out Scam
Throwing money at a campaign wasn’t enough—Musk had to poison the well, too. His PAC was linked to a mass disinformation mail-out campaign, where voters received flyers pretending to be from Kamala Harris. The problem? They were filled with outright lies, designed to push away key voter demographics. In Arab-American communities, they claimed Harris was 100% pro-Israel; in Jewish neighborhoods, they flipped the script, painting her as a Palestinian sympathizer.
The goal was clear: fracture support, manipulate public perception, and depress voter turnout for anyone who could challenge Trump’s path back to power.
The Real Cost of Musk’s Meddling
Musk didn’t just invest in Trump—he invested in dismantling democracy. His money didn’t just buy ads; it bought influence, control, and the ability to manipulate public perception at scale. The consequences? A presidency that owes more to a tech billionaire than to the American people.
This wasn’t an election—it was a hostile takeover. And if we don’t call it out for what it is, it won’t be the last time it happens.
