From Bloomberg News via Yahoo.News and also on most other major networks – the
headline (edited to fit the blog):
“Elon
Musk’s Pro-Trump PAC Is Hiring Door-Knockers in Key States”
Want to work
for Elon Musk? There are dozens of openings across the U.S with a single job
description: “Knock on doors to convince voters to support Trump and
Republicans running for the house and Senate as “down ballot candidates.”
The jobs, funded by America PAC, the super political action committee that Musk created, is advertising jobs for people to turn out voters in cities and towns in the heart of presidential battlegrounds and in districts with competitive congressional races, including Grand Rapids, MI; and Poughkeepsie, NY.
The door-to-door canvassers will be told to: “Promote our mission of supporting candidates who uphold free speech, free markets, and meritocracy. With backing from figures like Elon Musk, who supports our commitment to merit and freedom, you’ll be part of a team that’s not just playing the game but changing it.”
The
plan is to hire door-knockers across 16 states as part of what has so far been
a $63 million effort by Musk’s PAC to elect Trump, which has included digital
advertising and on-the-ground turnout efforts.
The door-to-door canvassers will assist in (1) registering new voters, (2) data collection, (3) community outreach, and (4) event support, according to the door knocking job descriptions.
So, what is the payoff for Musk?
In other
words what does Musk want from Trump if Trump were to win?
This from Trump to Musk: Musk endorsed Trump’s reelection bid in July after the assassination attempt in Butler, PA.
Trump suggested that Musk could lead a commission to
review federal expenditures, an idea that Musk pitched to Trump earlier this
year.
My 2 Cents: This seems like another quid pro quo to me and Trump con game that may be illegal.
Time will tell on that part about buying votes and registering voters. Stay tuned.
Thanks for stopping by.
