'BradCast' 10/21/2024 (Elon Musk's 'Vote Buying' and Lying for Trump. Guest: Eddie Perez, former Twitter official and election expert)
Description
On today's 'BradCast': Billionaire Elon Musk is using his vast wealth to influence the 2024 Election, leveraging his social media company X (Twitter) almost entirely on behalf of disgraced former President Donald Trump, flooding the site with disinformation and outright lies about the election, and funding dark money political action committees that are micro-targeting different groups of voters with deceptive information disguised to appear legitimate. Musk's new stunt is giving away $1 million dollars a day to registered Pennsylvania voters who sign his petition, which election law experts say may be 'illegal vote buying.' Former Twitter executive and election system expert EDDIE PEREZ debunks a number of Musk's false election fraud claims, and discusses how Musk has transformed X/Twitter into a degraded den of far-right conspiracy theories, hate speech, and more. Plus Perez has advice for voters on how to counter disinformation and protect their vote.
