- Elon Musk must attend an emergency court hearing in Philadelphia on Thursday to address a bid by the city’s top prosecutor to stop the Tesla CEO and his political action committee from continuing to award $1 million prizes to registered voters in the swing state of Pennsylvania.
- Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner revealed his lawsuit against Musk and the America PAC “triggered an avalanche of [social media] posts from Musk’s followers,” many of whom “made antisemitic attacks on Krasner.”
- Krasner’s lawsuit accuses Musk and the PAC of operating an illegal lottery and trying to influence voters in the presidential election between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.
Looking at that 2nd point: it’s so odd that Trump’s Republicans include hardcore Netanyahu-style Zionists AND unrepentant antisemites. It’s like they want to cover all possible approaches to the wrong side of history.
As to the meat of the story, Legal Eagle made a video about the legality of the Musk lottery. It seems pretty clearly forbidden, but we’ve been down this road with rich Conservatives many times before…
A fascist is a fascist.
Not as odd as you think, especially if those unrepentant antisemites are also evangelicals. They believe that all the Jews have to return to Israel, by force if necessary, for Jesus to return. Plenty of others also want to force all the Jews to live in Israel because they want rigidly-enforced ethnostates. Either way, they don’t like Jews, they just find them useful. In fact, the evangelicals expect them all to be thrown into Hell by Jesus when he returns.
And Trump’s message is support for bigotry- all bigots welcome
Not all bigots.
You damn well better pay fealty to the white masters.
Can’t usher in the messiah and Armageddon without both.
Gotta kill lots of people first.
