Here's the Left of Lansing Monday Musing for August 5, 2024.

CNBC is reporting how Tesla and "X" owner Elon Musk's Pro-Trump Super Pac, called America PAC, is deceiving potential voters by claiming to help them to register to vote, only to keep their personal information while never helping them register. This not only doesn't help register voters, but it helps Musk and his right-wing authoritarian allies' ultimate goal and hunger for authoritarian power. 

With the help from fellow billionaire vulture capitalists, like Peter Thiel," Musk is using his Super Pac and social media company to drive an all-out, pro-Trump-Vance message while trashing VP Kamala Harris and the Democrats. 

The marriage between Big Tech & MAGA is a dangerous one, and it's one everyone must understand in this election.
