An Elon Musk-funded super PAC is putting out fake pro-Harris ads


Progress 2028 is running ads presenting itself as the Democrats’ answer to Project 2025, but it’s actually the product of a pro-Trump PAC.

If you’re a swing state voter, you may have seen ads claiming that vice president Kamala Harris wants to institute a mandatory gun buyback program and make it easier for undocumented immigrants to get driver’s licenses. Musk’s America PAC has been giving $1 million checks to randomly selected swing state voters, a stunt that several campaign finance experts say is illegal. Musk personally distributed the first of these checks at a pro-Trump event in Pennsylvania and hasn’t let the Department of Justice’s warning that the lottery may be illegal — or a recent lawsuit filed by Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner — stop him.
