Summary
Donald Trump’s allies are worried that Elon Musk’s supposed canvassing efforts could cost them the election.
Elon Musk’s America PAC is under fire for allegedly faking canvassing data and mistreating workers on Donald Trump’s campaign. Roughly a quarter of reported door-knocks in Arizona and Nevada were flagged as “unusual,” suggesting location spoofing. Canvassers also report poor conditions, including working through a hurricane and being transported in a U-Haul instead of promised rentals. Frustrated Republican operatives are urging Trump to abandon Musk’s PAC due to its operational failures.
It’s a good thing that Musk is only a hereditary meritocrat, a person of mediocre ability able to buy his way into the ranks of the great, and having been surrounded by claques of sycophants for his entire life, having lost any capacity for self-criticism. So, of course when he put his visionary genius to work getting Trump elected, it went as well as you’d expect.
