No, because Musk offered Harris the same deal.

If I recall, Musk made an offer for Vice President Giggles to come on X for the same opportunity. If so, the lawsuit should go nowhere. What about Newsweek and Time putting Giggles on the cover? Isn’t that a free campaign contribution?

Democrat-aligned PAC, claims that the interview “amounted to a virtual campaign event”

He spoke one person not an event if he spoke to three the communist democrats would say it’s an event.

The Communists always try to twist bend remove and add words to laws nothing new.

Their panic meter is pegged knowing they will lose the race.

Nice headline but just talk. Musk offered Kamala Harris the same 2-hour unscripted conversation, she can take him up or not. So he didn’t do anything partisan.

Kamala Harris was also invited. She refused.

Dismiss the suit, and make them pay lawyers' fees and court cost.

The Democrat doesn’t have to show up. Everything the LSM shows is a campaign event.

Musk spent nothing on this. Or next to.
Its all IT overhead for X. There isnt even an imputed value of airtime for a broadcaster.

Maybe there are a few hours of labor for the stage crew.

Musk himself was the big deal here, and he does not need to charge for HIS time.

Yes; this makes no sense.

Are they going to say that every interview a news corporation does with a candidate is somehow a campaign contribution?

I don’t see where the article says there is a lawsuit, just a “complaint.”

The media’s biggest contribution is the stories they kill for the democrats. Isn’t that what Trump is possibly facing jail time for? Has Kamala reported the media’s silence as a campaign contribution?

Only, wrong.

🙃

Musk has held other Spaces events.

NOTHING compares to the 1 BILLION (say it!!) listeners Pres Trump brought in.

The same complaint would NOT have been filed, had Musk interviewed Kamala instead.
