Elon Musk Funds $3M PAC Targeting Voters in Michigan and Pennsylvania with Contradictory Ads on Harris

Oct 18, 2024, 04:06 PM

Elon Musk is funding a dark money group named Future Coalition PAC, which is targeting Muslim and Jewish voters in Michigan and Pennsylvania with contradictory ads about Vice President Kamala Harris's stance on Israel and Palestine. The super PAC has contributed $3 million to run these ads, which alternately portray Harris as either hostile or friendly to Israel, aiming to influence both Muslim and Jewish communities. The ads are designed to suppress Democratic turnout by highlighting Harris's pro-Israel positions to Muslim voters and her husband's Jewish identity to Jewish voters. This tactic, revealed in recent FEC filings, shows a deliberate effort to micro-target specific communities using ZIP code targeting. The PAC is also described as pro-Trump.
