And billionaire Trump donor Elon Musk – who is overseeing the administration’s controversial effort to rapidly shrink the federal government – has criticized ActBlue, seeking to tie it to protests and acts of vandalism against his electric-vehicle company Tesla. He has argued, without evidence to substantiate his claims, that some prominent Democrats – including one who died in 2019 – were funding ActBlue and the protests.
“Something stinks about ActBlue,” Musk posted earlier this month on his social media platform, X.
The big problem with ActBlue is that you donate once, to one specific candidate, and you suddenly get an onslaught of donation requests from everyone under the sun and sending “STOP” doesn’t stop it.
I just route it all to my spam and blocked folder.
