He posted it on X under his account...it might as well said "maga only".
I can't actually find the tweet you're talking about but I'm assuming he's deleted it or something
From what people are saying it sounds like he was just paying non voters to vote at all, not restricting it to only people who shared his political beliefs
I'd applaud it if that was what CAH were doing but they're specifically whitelisting people they agree with to be able to get the money, IE paying people to agree with them
They are paying "people that didn't vote in 2020". It is ultimately a foil of Musks rightwing, but not reaaalllyy wiiink. Just theirs it more aimed towards blue voters, but only because the right struggles to insult their godking...but ultimately it is just words and not telling them to VOTE BLUE. Just like Musk is trying to get his predominantly red crowed to register and get paid, but not TELLING them to vote red
It is completely asinine and a symptom of our trash system.
Cah literally say in their FAQ that this is only offered to "the bluest voters" and imply (whether it's true or not I don't know) that they have information about who's voted what and when to verify that
Musk is using the same data to target this offer to red-leaning voters, he's just not being as explicit about it.
Again, CaH saying the quiet part out loud and being very blatant about it while still being totally legal is the point.
How's he targeting it though, my understanding was it was just a straight twitter post
Because (as you've already stated) you're ignorant of the larger context of what the America PAC that he created is up to.
