If the Kamala Kampaign had read my last post and resolved to confirm its message, it couldn’t have done a better job than its latest email to hit my inbox. The subject line is “The two worst people you know are live this evening”. Donald Trump is one, of course. The other, worse than Vladimir Putin or Xi Jinping or Yahya Sinwar, is Elon Musk. Here is the text:
Edward -- Right now, Elon Musk is interviewing Donald Trump live on Twitter (we’re not calling it “X”).1
It’s not enough that Musk has pledged to donate millions of dollars to help reelect Trump. He’s using his purchased platform -- one of the largest social media sites in the world -- to spread Trump’s unhinged and hateful agenda to millions of users.
If that’s all you need to hear, chip in $25 now to help Kamala and Tim have the resources to respond to their lies.
Otherwise, let us remind you why this is a big deal.
The richest person in the world is a lackey2 for Team MAGA.
Musk already ruined Twitter by allowing hate speech and disinformation to flood the platform. Now, Musk is using his vast fortune and broad reach to try to control our democracy.
Unlike Trump’s campaign, we are not beholden to billionaires like Elon.3 Or to Big Pharma. Or Big Oil. Or the NRA.
The only way Team Harris-Walz can win this election is with grassroots supporters like you by our side.
Couldn’t this light-hearted, joyous campaign at least have reminded its followers to check the latest vibes on TikTok?
So Kamala is right about something. Stopped clock; twice a day.
“Lackey”: a good Bolshevist epithet. The next email will label him a “wrecker”.
She has an entirely different group of billionaires.
