Soros-Backed DA Challenges Musk’s Million-Dollar Giveaway For Supporting The Constitution

Elon Musk’s new initiative offering Americans in swing states a chance at $1 million for signing a petition to support the Constitution has met opposition from Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner, a known recipient of George Soros funding. Krasner has labeled Musk’s giveaway as “election interference,” prompting a lawsuit aimed at the tech billionaire’s efforts to promote free speech and constitutional principles.

Musk’s campaign, which encourages signatories to declare support for the U.S. Constitution, has sparked backlash from Democrats who argue the initiative could influence voters. The Department of Justice has also raised concerns, warning Musk of possible violations of federal election laws. However, Musk’s supporters point out that his only goal is to foster patriotism and support for the Constitution, rather than direct election involvement.

Commentator Sara Gonzales weighed in on the controversy, accusing Democrats of hypocrisy in targeting Musk. “They’re like, ‘You can’t do that, a billionaire getting involved in politics? That’s not allowed…unless it’s a billionaire who supports us,’” Gonzales quipped. She noted that Democrats have historically been fine with billionaire influence — as long as it’s working in their favor.

Musk responded to the controversy by emphasizing his intent to support American values. He pointed to Soros’ role in backing progressive DAs who choose not to prosecute certain crimes. “Putting DAs in who don’t prosecute crime is insane,” Musk said, positioning his efforts as a counter to Soros’ influence in the justice system.

Data from recent years reveal that Soros has spent millions funding Democratic initiatives, including a reported $78 million in 2020 alone and $128 million in 2022 to boost Democratic candidates. Musk’s supporters argue that Soros’ influence has far-reaching consequences, yet rarely draws the same scrutiny from the left.

As the lawsuit unfolds, Musk’s initiative has stirred debate over billionaire involvement in politics. Supporters maintain Musk is championing American values, while critics argue he’s pushing conservative ideology. The outcome of this legal battle could set a precedent for how billionaires like Musk and Soros engage in politics.
