Musk Pumps $75 Million Into Pro-Trump PAC, Becoming GOP Mega Donor

https://www.newsmax.com/us/pac-election-fundraising/2024/10/16/id/1184220/

 

Elon Musk gave around $75 million to his pro-Donald Trump spending group in the span of three months, federal disclosures showed on Tuesday, underscoring how the billionaire has become crucial to the Republican candidate's efforts to win the Nov. 5 presidential election.

 

America PAC, which is focused on turning out voters in closely contested states that could decide the election, spent around $72 million of that in the July-September period, according to disclosures filed to the Federal Election Commission.

 

That is more than any other pro-Trump super PAC focused on turning out voters. The Trump campaign is broadly reliant on outside groups for canvassing voters, meaning the super PAC founded by Musk - the world's richest man - plays an outsized role in the razor-thin election between Trump and Democrat Kamala Harris.

 

Musk, the CEO of electric car manufacturer Tesla, was the sole donor to the group in that period.

 

Musk, who has said he has voted for Democratic presidential candidates in the past, has taken a sharp turn to the right this election. He endorsed Trump in July and appeared with him at a rally in Pennsylvania earlier this month.

 

Musk's donations to America PAC propel him into the exclusive club of Republican mega donors, a list that also includes banking heir Timothy Mellon and casino billionaire Miriam Adelson.

 

However, Reuters reported earlier this month Musk has secretly funded a conservative political group for years, well before his public embrace of Trump.

 

America PAC declined to comment on the Musk donations. Musk did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

 

America PAC is focused on encouraging Americans who like Trump but don't always vote to cast ballots this cycle, a high-risk, labor-intensive strategy by the Trump campaign.

 

The group, which started its work later in the election than other PACs, has encountered some problems with hiring and its contractors. Since July, it has fired two major contractors it has hired to knock on doors.

 

It has also struggled to hire door knockers in several battleground states in part because by the time the PAC became operational many other canvassing groups had already staffed up, a half-dozen sources briefed on the issues told Reuters.

 

The group had around $4 million left on hand by the end of September, the filings show.

 

Separate filings earlier on Tuesday showed that Miriam Adelson, the casino magnate, donated $95 million to another pro-Trump super PAC, Preserve America PAC, in the same period.

US Official Claims ISIS Behind Foiled Election Day Plot

https://www.newsmax.com/world/globaltalk/fbi-cia-isis/2024/10/15/id/1184186/

 

Anonymous United States officials are claiming that the FBI has foiled a plot by ISIS-K to carry out an act of terrorism on Election Day.

 

According to NBC News, Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi, 27, who had worked for the CIA in Afghanistan, was arrested by the FBI last week in Oklahoma over an alleged terror plot. According to court documents, Tawhedi had allegedly spoken to a man named "Malik" over his intent to purchase AK-47s.

 

On Sept. 14, per the court document, Tawhedi and a "co-conspirator" met with an undercover FBI agent and two confidential human sources to purchase guns. On Oct. 7, Tawhedi and the co-conspirator were arrested as part of an FBI sting operation.

 

The court document goes on to add that as part of his post-arrest interview, Tawhedi said he planned to purchase firearms "for the purpose of conducting firearms training and committing an attack (using the firearms) on Election Day targeting large gatherings of people, during which he and [co-conspirator] expected to be martyred."

 

The day after Tawhedi's arrest, MI5 Director General Ken McCallum claimed there's been a resurgence of the Islamic State group known as well as an increase in right-wing extremism.

 

"Today's Islamic State is not the force it was a decade ago, but after a few years of being pinned well back, they've resumed their efforts to export terrorism," he stated. The deadly March concert hall attack in Moscow, he then stated, carried out by offshoot ISIS-K, "was a "brutal demonstration of its capability."

 

McCallum concluded his press conference with a warning to would-be terrorists, stating that if one takes money from Iran or Russia to carry out terrorist acts in the U.K., "It's a choice you'll regret."

 

NBC had asked the FBI about the extent of ISIS-K's involvement regarding the alleged Election Day plot, but the FBI refused to answer.

 

Tawhedi worked as a security guard for the CIA in Afghanistan and arrived in the U.S. in September 2021 on a special immigrant visa after the U.S. withdrew from Afghanistan. He passed two rounds of vetting, and no derogatory information was detected during the process. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, when asked on Oct. 10 about the Election Day plot, refused to answer, saying it's an "active investigation."

Like every great historical fact, in time it becomes myth, then legend, then lore, but it is still rooted in fact.

The fact that I myself have stopped being blown about by winds of doctrine,(all the different versions of the Bible), does not mean that I do not believe in Christ.
