     "Political committees with only independent expenditures (Super PACs); or special bank account in Hybrid PACs may solicit + accept unlimited contributions from individuals, corporations, labor orgs ~and other PACs~

     They may not accept contributions from foreign nationals, federal contractors, national banks or federally chartered corporations"

     Very odd rule b/c Musk is a federal contractor, yet allowed to own a super-PAC and so:

     I'm trying to sort out how tied up an LLC can be with a Super PAC and I keep finding more loopholes

     Do Super PACs issue stock and do pump-and-dumps? And I have just been oblivious?

     @ekis I read somewhere (WAPO? Propublica?) Trumps PAC only has to spend 10% on political ads. IOW 90% he can spend as he sees fit.

     Fighting fascists like Trump and Musk, needs to be focused on their actions and their views and policies.

     Now matter how stupid the general public are, you can't fight fascists by sinking to their levels. Because they will ALWAYS win.
