Musk-bankrolled ads depict Harris as both pro and anti-Israel
Elon Musk’s involvement in the Trump campaign is proving to be crucial, as are the contentious strategies being used to win over undecided voters.
A digital ad campaign aimed at Arab and Jewish voters has been funded by the Future Coalition PAC, an organization backed by Musk. Musk is a funder of Building America’s Future, a non-profit organization that is identified as the sole donor to Future Coalition PAC, according to a Wall Street Journal investigation earlier this month. According to reports, it gave the group $3 million.
The advertisements, which can be found on YouTube and Facebook, assert that Kamala Harris is both anti-Israel and pro-Israel.
The group has spent $841,000 on 43 advertisements with contradictory messaging, alternating between calling Harris “anti-Semitic” and “pandering to Palestine” and describing her and her husband Doug Emhoff, who is Jewish, as America’s “pro-Israel power couple”.
The advertisements are deliberately displayed in various states based on the demographics of those states. The swing state of Michigan, which has the largest Arab American population in the nation, had the biggest advertising expenditures.
