Via press release:
End Citizens United filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) today against Donald Trump, Donald J. Trump for President 2024, Inc., and X Corp. (formerly known as Twitter Inc.).
The complaint states that the resources X Corp. owner Elon Musk dedicated to hosting Donald Trump for a campaign event was an impermissible corporate in-kind contribution that violated campaign finance laws.
“The Donald Trump-Elon Musk campaign rally hosted on X wasn’t just an incoherent diatribe of lies marred by technical difficulties it was a blatantly illegal corporate contribution to Donald Trump’s campaign,” said End Citizens United President Tiffany Muller.
“This brazen corporate contribution undermines campaign finance laws and would set a dangerous precedent for unfettered, direct corporate engagement in campaigns. The FEC must investigate this corporate-funded campaign event and hold Trump, his campaign, and X Corp. accountable.”
