There’s deeply cynical and then there’s things which might be illegal. In the first category we have an Elon Musk-funded PAC microtargeting Jewish and Arab communities with diametrically opposed ads about Kamala Harris’s support for Israel or Palestine. Amazingly cynical.
But then you have what I’m going to describe next which comes from another Musk-funded dark money operation. They have set up fake sites impersonating the Harris campaign using fake policy positions and then sending out text messages also impersonating the campaign which aim to drive voters to the fake site. (A lot of potential legal and regulatory questions turns on word like “fake” and “impersonating”, which we’ll return to in a moment.)

Fuck that, take his shit. Every bit of this fuckers wealth is built on fraud. He has no right to any of it. All of SpaceX should become part of NASA. All of Tesla should be our new kickass national auto company. Twitter should be a public service.
This guy could eat a baby live on TV and too many folks would be like “Any talk of using force is inappropriate. We have to engage him in the marketplace of ideas. You can’t just physically stop him from doing things. You can’t just take his property. Inappropriate!”
I really hope he meets an embarrassing end, and soon.
