Jeff Bezos' Washington Post backs out of running $115,000 front page advertisement targeting Elon Musk

The Jeff Bezos' owned Washington Post has reportedly backed out of running a $115,000 front page advertisement targeting DOGE head Elon Musk amid the Amazon founder's budding friendship with President Donald Trump.

Advocacy group Common Cause announced that it had signed the costly agreement with the newspaper to run an ad that would have covered the entire front and back page of Tuesday's paper as well as a full page advertisement inside the paper.

The group said it planned to purchase the ad in collaboration with the Southern Poverty Law Center Action Fund.

Copies of the paper with the wrap would then be sent to subscribers on Capitol Hill, at the Pentagon and at the White House, according to The Hill.

The ad's design, which is still available on the group's website, features a large photo of Musk with his head tilted back, laughing, along with a cutout image of the White House.

'Who's running this country: Donald Trump or Elon Musk?' it asked.

Further down on the page, the advertisement features smaller text that reads: 'Since day one, Elon has created chaos and confusion and put our livelihoods at risk. And he is accountable to no one but himself.

'The Constitution only allows for one president at a time,' it says. 'Call our senators and tell them it's time Donald Trump fire Elon Musk.' It also included the URL FireMusk.org.

For the last four years, the democrats had NO concern for who was running the country.

They did not care that Joe Biden puppet masters were destroying the USA with a 20 million illegal alien invasion.

Now all of a sudden, they complain about Elon Musk having too much influence in the White House. I would tell them to talk to the hand used to wipe their ass. /spit

They should take the money. They are merely preaching to the choir. No one care what they publish outside of people who all ready agree with their extremists views

The real question that needs to be answered is who ran America for the past four years?

Georgey Soros or Barry Soetoro?

Every time I see the words “Southern Poverty Law Center”, I cringe...

Me too.

I am going to guess that senior liberal staffers at the paper came up with this idea and Bezos cancelled the idea.

I'm old enough to remember when these clowns didn't have Word One to say about Pedo Joe getting puppeted for five years [including the 2020 campaign year].
