6 Key Takeaways From Our Latest Investigation Into Russian Election Interference in 2024
Over two years, Vladimir Putin and his close team of advisors were able to execute an extraordinary influence operation to re-elect Donald Trump - and Elon Musk was at its center.
RE-UPPING OUR STORY FROM NOVEMBER
1. The Patrushev Warning.
Putin's likely successor, Nikolai Patrushev, made an unprecedented admission: Trump "relied on certain forces" to win and now has "obligations" to fulfill. Coming from Putin's closest advisor and former FSB head, this was not merely commentary but a public call to account. The message was unmistakable: comply with Putin's wishes or face the consequences.
2. Musk played a central role in a Kremlin-directed influence operation to re-elect Donald Trump.
For over two years, Putin and his key staff carried out this operation through Musk, which included the $44 billion purchase of Twitter, a $45 million voter suppression campaign, and the widespread amplification of conspiracy theories.
3. Musk orchestrated a $45 million voter suppression initiative.
Today's Washington Post revealed how Musk's advisors executed a complex $45 million "false positive" campaign aimed at specific voter groups using campaign messaging that seemed to originate from the Harris campaign.
Muslims saw pro-Israel ads.
Jewish voters received anti-Israel messaging.
Black voters got menthol cigarette warnings.
Progressive voters saw "abandoned promises" content.
These seemed to be Harris campaign ads, but they were created through seemingly disconnected PACs and organizations funded by Musk’s PAC.
4. The Twitter/X takeover was part of a larger plan.
Our investigation revealed:
Putin and Musk's communications before, during, and after the $44 billion Twitter purchase.
Russian oligarch family members partially funded Twitter’s purchase.
Direct collaboration between X and Russia's Social Design Agency (a front for intelligence).
Strategic algorithm changes to X’s algorithm to amplify specific political narratives.
5. Elon Musk and Donald Trump are fulfilling Patrushev's "obligations" at Mar a Lago.
Musk's role goes beyond that of an informal advisor.
Regular participation in transition meetings.
Direct involvement in Ukraine policy discussions.
Unprecedented influence over cabinet selections.
6. Musk Plans "Shock Therapy" For The Economy.
The most significant threat could be Musk's $2 trillion austerity plan, now called the "Department of Government Efficiency." To implement these cuts, he'll have to make significant cuts to:
Social Security
Medicare
Veterans' benefits
Federal agencies
This wasn't just election interference; it was economic and political warfare intended to significantly undermine America, pursuing two key goals: extracting policy concessions and dismantling institutions for Musk’s Kremlin overlords.
Why are Americans not asking why Eli Musk is running this country? This is hiding in plain sight. How many people care? Very sad.
TY. Zev, I hope you’ll meet us all on Blue Sky by Thanksgiving per Hal Sparks and others. Abandoning Xhitter en masse helps cut off advertising revs as clearly, eGod has access to even more govt contracts now, he surely doesn’t need us anymore.
