Musk Seizes @America for Pro-Trump Campaign

Elon Musk has seized the inactive @America handle on his X (formerly Twitter) platform to promote his pro-Trump super PAC, America PAC, in support of Donald Trump's 2024 presidential campaign. The account, originally belonging to another user, was repurposed by Musk to advocate for right-wing policies and to recruit voters in swing states by offering $47 for each registered voter who signs a petition supporting the First and Second Amendments. Musk's actions, including redirecting his bio to the @America account, highlight his open political stance, despite previous claims of maintaining platform neutrality. The America PAC is backed by notable figures, including Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale and the Winklevoss twins, with Musk reportedly planning to commit $45 million monthly to the PAC. Musk's involvement in the PAC's voter-data push in Pennsylvania underlines his significant investment in the political landscape as the election approaches.
