Elon Musk among backers, PAC promotes contradictory messaging to Arab American and Jewish voters on Kamala Harris’s Israel, Palestine stance

Washington (Quds News Network)- Future Coalition PAC has been engaged in a cynical two-step designed to simultaneously discourage Arab American and Jewish voters by advertising contradictory messages about Vice President Kamala Harris’ Israel and Palestine policies. Elon Musk is among the backers of this group, according to a financial disclosure made public on Tuesday.

In areas of Michigan with large numbers of Arab and Muslim voters, Future Coalition PAC is running digital ads about how Harris is a staunch supporter of Israel, Hoffpost reported.

“Kamala and Doug, America’s pro-Israel power couple,” the narrator of one of the group’s ads declares.

On the other side, the group is simultaneously targeting Pennsylvania’s Jewish voters with advertisements claiming Harris has been “pandering” to Palestinians, according to Hoffpost report.

“In Jewish communities throughout America, questions are being asked: Why did Kamala Harris support denying Israel the weapons needed to defeat the Hamas terrorists who massacred thousands?” the 30-second spot says. “And why did Harris show sympathy for college protesters who are rabidly antisemitic?”

The ads aim to help former President Donald Trump by cleaving Jewish and Arab American voters away from Harris in key states at a time when both groups are deeply invested in Israel’s U.S.-backed wars in Gaza and Lebanon.

The group’s $3 million budget so far comes entirely from a nonprofit, Building America’s Future, which is not required to reveal the names of its donors.

However, earlier this month, The Wall Street Journal reported that Musk is among the backers of Building America’s Future.

Musk has become increasingly crucial to funding Trump’s political operation and is also funding one of the major super PACs responsible for Trump’s get-out-the-vote efforts.

According to a new Federal Election Commission (FEC) filing, Musk has given nearly $75 million to America PAC, the super PAC that has become a critical source of pro-Trump field organizing in the seven battleground states.

The New York Times, which broke news of Building America’s Future’s role before the FEC filing became public on Tuesday and confirmed Musk’s role in the organization, also reported that Building America’s Future had raised about $100 million over the past four years and has roughly only a dozen corporate or individual donors.

In keeping with Musk’s interest in alleged voter fraud, Building America’s Future offers people $5 million awards for evidence of “illegal voting” or other election-related abuses.

It also emerged Tuesday that Building America’s Future is funding Duty to America PAC, a super PAC that aims to peel young men and Black voters away from the Democratic Party.

“These ads demonstrate the Republican strategy of weaponizing hate and vitriol to divide Americans in order to achieve their political goals,” Halie Soifer, CEO of the Jewish Democratic Council of America, said in a statement.

“These ads aim to drive a wedge between minority communities by exploiting bigotry and disinformation, and we condemn it in the strongest possible terms. It’s appalling and on brand for Donald Trump.”

Meanwhile, Musk announced overnight on X, the social media site he bought for $44 billion in 2022, that he will embark on a multiday speaking tour through Pennsylvania, the all-important presidential swing state.

“Tomorrow night through Monday, I will be giving a series of talks throughout Pennsylvania,” Musk wrote at 12:26 a.m. ET on Wednesday.

“If you’d like to attend one of my talks, there’s no attendance fee. You just need to have signed our petition supporting free speech & right to bear arms & have voted in this election,” he wrote.

Musk added in a follow up: “To clarify, you need have voted in Pennsylvania.”
