In fairness to Elon the campaign materials read "paid for by Progress 2028" which is a PAC that he runs so its not technically a false claim despite being deliberately crafted to be misleading. It does seem like an edge case and I wouldn't be surprised if Elon gets in trouble for it but he might have a defense based on that one technicality.That's the thing man. Without norms and integrity, we can't govern with laws. You simply cannot make enough rules to keep people in order and that's why Trump is so damaging to our nation because he has lowered the standards and moral fabric that would follow norms. He's changed everything but for the worse.
But also Elon directly tricking people into thinking they're dealing with the Kamala Harris campaign is illegal.
Yes, I caught that but that is still probably illegal because it's clear that he was trying to give the impression that it was the Kamala Harris campaign. So I'm thinking that it's still going to end up being illegal.In fairness to Elon the campaign materials read "paid for by Progress 2028" which is a PAC that he runs so its not technically a false claim despite being deliberately crafted to be misleading.

Thanks man and I have edited the original post!!It's in the article you posted:
Here
Do most people even read the links? Doesn't seem like it. There's really no excuse for Secular Talk to link to TPM rather than the actual article though, even if It wouldn't surprise me for the Secular Talk video to get more views/engagement. Supposedly it's 12:1 for video versus text being shared via social media.Well is it really that big of a deal then if it's linked in the article I posted??
Oh yeah but the difference here is that Elon was larping as someone that he was not to spread misinformation.Blanketing voters with "misleading" information about the opposing candidate is a tale as old as time. You don't appear to be upset that Kamala's official campaign twitter has been misleading Americans about recent Trump campaign event snafus to suggest that he has been having episodes of senility. That isn't a mistake. They intended that.
The most insidious aspect of this was the way they disseminated the information as if it was coming from Harris herself.

Mick/Self Diagnosed Centrists know how trashy the MAGA movement and Trump is. But their distaste towards that doesn't hold a candle to the torture that they have to endure seeing vidya games and movies where the female characters aren't all masturbation material.That's the point. It's fraudulent. Mud slinging may be one thing but as you said this was a slimy move. It's treating Americans like just another sucker. And the guy isn't even American and stands to land a windfall if Trump is elected. Billionaires buying our election for self gain.
This is the fake ad? It looks hokey...

Because many in her platform would support all of this... lol
These are all policies that Progressives want and Conservatives oppose? I'm not understanding what this Progress 2028 is trying to do
What is the purpose here? To sway Independents who may be on the fence and don't really know Kamala's platform?

Yeah, we had a Trump presidency already, and it didn’t turn our culture rightist. Quite the opposite! As is typical (culture usually moves against the president).Mick/Self Diagnosed Centrists know how trashy the MAGA movement and Trump is. But their distaste towards that doesn't hold a candle to the torture that they have to endure seeing vidya games and movies where the female characters aren't all masturbation material.
So they have to trip over themselves and draw half-ass parallels to the democrats to undermine every shitty thing that Trump does. It is exhausting and pathetic. The saddest thing about all of this is that a Trump Presidency won't save them from their biggest fear of "wokeness" that they compromise on everything for.
That's the thing. They're using a technicality and he shouldn't be allowed to get away with it. What's the % of the population who can identify a PAC and its affiliation?In fairness to Elon the campaign materials read "paid for by Progress 2028" which is a PAC that he runs so its not technically a false claim despite being deliberately crafted to be misleading.

I appreciate this and I mean it sincerely.Opensecrets is a good source... so bravo to TS.
I like Musk, but this crap is out of bounds.
