A Look at The Many State Felonies Elon Musk Seemingly Committed to Elect Trump

What he said in public. What his lawyers said under oath. What the law in four states calls it.

Written by: Christopher Armitage

In the closing weeks of the 2024 election, Musk spent roughly $290 million on Trump’s behalf, a figure documented in Federal Election Commission filings. About a quarter billion of that went through America PAC, the super PAC he founded in May 2024. Another $20.5 million ran through a vehicle called RBG PAC, funded by his revocable trust and structured to hide his connection until after the votes were counted. More than $50 million of the America PAC money paid for a giveaway program: a million dollars a day to one signer of an online petition, with the petition restricted to registered voters in seven swing states. Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Nevada, Arizona, Georgia, and North Carolina. No other states eligible. More than a million people signed. The first three winners came from Pennsylvania in the days leading up to its October 21 voter registration deadline. Musk personally announced the winners at public events, holding cardboard checks the size of a person.

He told the public, in his own words, that the selection was random.

On October 5, 2024, at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, Musk told the crowd: “President Trump must win to preserve the Constitution. He must win to preserve democracy in America.” Two weeks later, on October 19, at a Harrisburg town hall with Trump’s campaign, he announced the giveaway program: “We’re going to be awarding a million dollars randomly to people who have signed the petition every day from now until the election.” That same day, he posted on X to his then-200 million followers that the prize would be “randomly” awarded. The next day, October 20, he posted again that signers had “a daily chance of winning $1M!”

Random. Daily chance. Sweepstakes language. The kind of language that, if accurate, describes a lottery.

Sixteen days after Musk first used the word “randomly,” his lawyers told a Pennsylvania state court, under oath, the opposite.

Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner had filed against Musk and America PAC on October 28, 2024, seven days before the election, in Krasner v. Musk, case number 241003509 in Philadelphia’s main trial court. The civil filing was the move available on that timeline. Criminal charges require grand jury work that cannot happen in a week. What was not available in those seven days has been available in the eighteen months since.

The Many State Felonies Elon Committed to Elect Trump.

What he said in public. What his lawyers said under oath. What the law in four states calls it.

The hearing was on November 4, 2024, the day before the election. Judge Angelo Foglietta presided. The PAC put two witnesses on the stand. Christopher Gober, the PAC’s lawyer and former treasurer, and Christopher Young, its executive director and current treasurer.

Gober’s words on the record: “There is no prize to be won. The $1 million recipients are not chosen by chance. We know exactly who will be announced as the $1 million recipient today and tomorrow.”

Young testified that he personally vetted the recipients ahead of time, that the petition functioned “like a job application,” and that signers were screened for political alignment with the PAC’s mission before they could be selected. He confirmed that recipients signed nondisclosure agreements about how they were actually chosen. Asked about Musk’s use of the word “randomly,” Young conceded that it was “not the word I would have selected.” The judge denied Krasner’s preliminary injunction the same day on narrow Pennsylvania-lottery-law grounds, finding that because the recipients were preselected, the giveaway technically did not meet the legal definition of an illegal lottery.

The civil filing produced the evidentiary record any future prosecutor inherits. Gober’s admission, on the record, that the recipients of more than $50 million in payments were preselected, while Musk was simultaneously telling 200 million people the recipients were random. That record has been on Krasner’s own docket for eighteen months. The criminal investigation he announced remains open. No charges have been filed. A person without Musk’s resources who paid even a single voter twenty dollars to vote a particular way could be charged under 25 P.S. § 3539, Pennsylvania’s vote-buying statute, and would face up to seven years in prison. A person caught selling drugs on a Philadelphia street corner with less evidentiary documentation than what is on the Krasner v. Musk docket would be in the back of a squad car the same day. The asymmetry is not about the strength of the case. It is about the identity of the defendant.

That brings us to the law.

 A troubling pattern has emerged in American law enforcement: surveillance technology tested in the Gaza conflict is now being deployed across U.S. cities.

Skydio, a California-based drone manufacturer, shipped over 100 AI-powered reconnaissance drones to the Israeli Defense Forces following October 2023. These drones have now become the foundation of a massive domestic surveillance expansion across the United States.

The company has secured contracts with over 800 law enforcement and security agencies nationwide, expanding from just 320 agencies less than a year prior. Police departments in major cities including New York, Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia, San Diego, Cleveland, and Jacksonville have all adopted Skydio drone systems. Federal agencies including Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Customs and Border Protection have also acquired these units.

The New York Police Department operates 41 Skydio drones and deployed them over 20,000 times in less than a year. These drones automatically upload images to Axon Evidence, a digital database system, creating permanent records of civilian activities, protest movements, and public gatherings.

Skydio maintains an office in Israel and partners with DefenseSync, a military contractor serving the Israeli Defense Forces. The company has raised hundreds of millions from Israeli-American venture capital firms with extensive ties to Israel's technology and military sectors.

What was tested on Palestinian civilians is now being refined on American protesters, creating a feedback loop where surveillance capabilities developed abroad become infrastructure for domestic monitoring.

Robber Barons of the Red Shield

The Rothschild family are top bankers in society and own various investment firms and businesses and hold titles of nobility in France, Austria and the United Kingdom. Lynn Forester de Rothschild is CEO of E.L. Rothschild and her British knighted husband Evelyn de Rothschild is a financial adviser for Queen Elizabeth II. Their son David Mayer de Rothschild hypocritically pushes environmentalist propaganda used to oppress everyday people while the rest of his family is involved in mining, corporate consumerism, banking monopolies, and forcing natives off their land. David Mayer de Rothschild can be seen wearing the red string Kabbalah bracelet for the Gevurah which represents anger, fire, and holocaust. David Meyer de Rothschild is a high level authority over the Kabbalah Centre and its Hollywood members and he is ruthless, depraved, thieving, blasphemous and all around evil. David Meyer de Rothschild also manages the well paid YouTube shill Paul Romano. David's sister Jessica de Rothschild sacrifices children. Jessica de Rothschild manages the Rothschild charity racket the ERANDA Foundation which like all charity rackets does some help for people as its disguise and then also uses it for criminal financing and bribes usually related to child trafficking. Baron Jacob Rothschild is another British banker and the Baron in Hertfordshire, England. His son Nathanael Rothschild resides in Switzerland and works as co-chairman of Asia Resource Minerals. Baron David Rene de Rothschild is the head of the French family branch and is Chairman of N M Rothschild & Sons as well as a top executive for other financial and merchant institutions like De Beers and Groupe Casino. De Beers is a diamond company. Jewelers are often involved in money laundering and criminal payoffs because jewelry does not really have a fixed value. They can manipulate the price for money laundering. His son Alexandre Guy Francesco de Rothschild is also an executive for N M Rothschild & Sons. David Rene de Rothschild's wife is Princess Olimpia Aldobrandini of Roman Black Nobility. Eric de Rothschild is a British-French banker that manages and partly owns Paris Orleans holding company which absorbed into Rothschild & Co. Edouard de Rothschild is another French banker and head of the Rothschild & Cie Banque with David Rene de Rothschild as a senior partner. The House of Rothschild are used to monopolize wealth and use their banks for funneling cash through for pay offs to corrupt businessmen and politicians disguised as fake investments. The Clintons are known friends of the Rothschild's. Baron Norman Lamont of Lerwick is a British noble and politician that previously worked as director of Rothschild Asset Management and as Chancellor of the Exchequer. The Rothschild's were first employed by the German House of Hesse and they still employ the Swiss Rothschild's with Baron Benjamin de Rothschild. The German Rothschild's had business deals with the Bleichroeder family, and they created Arnhold & S. Bleichroeder investment bank in New York which was purchased and renamed First Eagle Investment now owned by Blackstone. Baron Cyril de Rothschild-Goldschmidt is the current head of the German Rothschild's and a baron under the House of Hohenzollern.

Baron Benjamin de Rothschild holds an Austrian title of nobility today and is the head of Edmond de Rothschild Group along with his wife Ariane de Rothschild and they reside in Switzerland where there are banking secrecy laws. His mother is Baroness Nadine de Rothschild. Benjamin de Rothschild partly owns Faro West Lobeke hunting company which has been involved in forcing natives off their land so they can hunt endangered species. Benjamin de Rothschild's banks operate in Israel and he is managing secret bank accounts for the criminals running Israel. His great-grandfather Baron Edmond James de Rothschild was premeditatedly involved in large land grabs in Palestine at the end of the 19th century and before the British Crown seized the land during WWI. The Rothschild family are married in with various Kabbalistic-Jewish bankers like the Goldsmith and Sassoon families. The Rothschild's are involved with Freemason and have the Ferdinand de Rothschild Lodge in Aylesbury. The Concordia Lodge was created to honor the Rothschild's. The wicked Rothschild family are propped up as the leaders of the global crime syndicate to deflect from the higher level royalty they work for and to shift all blame onto Jews as part of their Nazi agenda. There are thousands of videos on the internet claiming they own all the central banks and are worth 500 trillion dollars. The high level royal and noble families claim ownership over corporate governments and central banks and have been concealing trillions in private banks. The Rothschild family are one family among many. The Rothschild family are vaguely mentioned the "guardians of the papal treasure" in the Jewish Encyclopedia. The Rothschild's have banking contracts with the Torlonia family who are the Vatican's treasurers. Roth-schild means "red shield." Guardians and shields are not owners. The Rothschild guard the Torlonias which own the only private bank in Italy called Banca del Fucino. They are extremely evil Court Factors working for royal and papal courts. The British Rothschild family are barons and knights under the House of Windsor. I believe the Rothschild family were various banking families of northern Italy which merged to become one dynasty. The Bardi family of Florence that financed the English Crown with hundreds of thousands in gold which was never paid back appear to be part of the British Rothschild's ancestry. The French Rothschild branch seems to be related to a mixture of Venetian and Genoese banking families. The French Rothschild family are married in with the Aldobrandini and Brandolini families of Italy and they work for the Roman Curia. The Aldobrandinis have a statue of a reaper at their tomb. The Jewish gangster rappers Ill Bill and his brother Necro work under the Rothschild's and Aldobrandinis. Necro means death. The Rothschild's are not descendants of actual Hebrews, Judeans or Israelites and instead are a mixture of Babylonian, Edomite, and Ashkenazi. David Lau is the Chief Ashkenazi Rabbi of Israel and serves the Rothschild's. David Lau is a sadistic psychopath who lies and slanders people constantly. Many rabbis cannibalize the private parts of babies and suck the blood from genitals after circumcision which is a demonic practice created by Babylonians. The Rothschild's are Saturn worshiping frauds who claim to be something they are not out of insecurity. The Rothschild's are ruthless evil, and they need to be hunted down and exterminated.

Sadly this is what MAGA Republicans want this again that's what they mean by their slogan “make America great again” We have to stop this before it happens we need to push forward.

The **Jim Crow era** didn’t come from a single decision or one person—it grew out of a mix of political backlash, economic interests, and deeply rooted racism after the Civil War. Understanding it means looking at what happened *right after* slavery ended.

## How it came about

After the American Civil War (1861–1865), slavery was abolished, and during **Reconstruction** (roughly 1865–1877), the federal government tried to integrate formerly enslaved people into society as full citizens. Black men gained the right to vote, and Black politicians were elected across the South.

That progress triggered intense resistance from many white Southerners. When federal troops withdrew in 1877 (part of the Compromise of 1877), Southern states regained control—and began systematically dismantling those gains.

---

## Who “decided” it?

There wasn’t a single architect. Instead:

* **State and local governments in the South** passed laws enforcing racial segregation.

* White political leaders, often called “Redeemers,” pushed policies to restore white dominance.

* Courts—including the U.S. Supreme Court—played a major role by *allowing* segregation.

A critical turning point was Plessy v. Ferguson, where the Supreme Court ruled that racial segregation was legal under the doctrine of “separate but equal.” This decision gave legal cover to segregation for decades.

---

## Why it happened (the reasoning used at the time)

The justifications varied, but they centered on maintaining power:

* **White supremacy ideology**: Many white Americans believed in racial hierarchy and used pseudoscience and religion to justify it.

* **Political control**: Black voters had gained influence during Reconstruction. Jim Crow laws (like poll taxes and literacy tests) were designed to strip that power away.

* **Economic exploitation**: Systems like sharecropping kept Black workers economically dependent and poor.

* **Fear and backlash**: Some whites feared social equality would upend the existing social order.

These reasons weren’t neutral—they were about preserving a racial caste system after slavery ended.

---

## What Jim Crow looked like in practice

From the late 1800s through the mid-1900s, Jim Crow laws enforced segregation in nearly every aspect of life:

* Separate schools, buses, restaurants, and even drinking fountains

* Laws banning interracial marriage

* Voting restrictions that effectively disenfranchised Black citizens

Violence and intimidation reinforced the system, especially through lynching and groups like the Ku Klux Klan.

---

## Key historical facts

* The term “Jim Crow” comes from a racist minstrel character popularized by Thomas D. Rice.

* Segregation wasn’t just Southern—Northern states had discrimination too, though less formalized.

* Jim Crow laws lasted roughly from the 1870s to the 1960s.

* The system began to fall apart after legal challenges like Brown v. Board of Education, which ruled school segregation unconstitutional.

* The era formally ended with major federal laws like the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

---

## The bigger picture

Jim Crow wasn’t just a set of laws—it was a system designed to maintain racial inequality after slavery. It shaped housing, education, wealth, and opportunity in ways that still have effects today.

𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐂𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐛𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐒𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦 𝐰/ 𝐒𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐡 𝐖𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐥

If you look around at what’s happening right now in America, one of the most important issues isn’t on the front page of any newspaper. It’s not the NFL draft. It’s not the latest celebrity scandal. It’s the quiet, rapid construction of a surveillance infrastructure so massive, so deeply woven into our daily lives, that by the time most people notice it, it will already be too late.

I sat down recently with Sarah West, an independent podcaster, systems thinker, and someone who has been fighting Google in federal court over censorship. What she shared confirmed what many of us have suspected for a long time. This isn’t a conspiracy theory. This is systems-level engineering that has been funded to the tune of 90 to 100 billion dollars a year for decades.

𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐀𝐈. 𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐘𝐨𝐮.

Here’s the simple version that Sarah laid out so clearly: the surge in data centers being built across America right now is not just about artificial intelligence or cloud computing. Those are real uses, yes. But they are the cover story.

The real story is tracking data. Every heartbeat recorded by your Apple Watch. Every face scanned by a Flock camera on the highway. Every email you write in Gmail. Every screenshot your Microsoft or Apple device quietly takes. Every movement of your car, your body, your habits. Each one is a piece of data. Multiply that by 330 million Americans, every single day, and you understand why they need 40,000-acre data centers in Utah.

They are not building this for your convenience. They are building a control grid.

𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐇𝐚𝐬 𝐁𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐆𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐎𝐧 𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝟏𝟗𝟗𝟎𝐬

Bill Binney built the NSA’s massive data center and was Edward Snowden’s mentor. He told Sarah years ago that the surveillance infrastructure has been actively built out since at least the mid-1990s. Everything has a backdoor. Every device. Every platform. The technology is finally catching up to the data they have been storing, and now they can sift through all of it, fast.

When Snowden came out, people were shocked. When Binney came out, people were alarmed. Today, Palantir is doing what those whistleblowers warned about out in the open, in public, and most people shrug.

That is not progress. That is conditioning.

Sarah made a point that really stuck with me. Palantir is one small node in an enormous infrastructure map that includes every major tech company, every military contractor, Oracle, IBM, the entire banking system, and the telecom industry. The parallel surveillance systems inside banking and telecom have existed since the 1980s. Palantir is just the part they decided to show you.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐈𝐭 𝐃𝐨 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐳𝐞 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠

This is the part that should frighten you most. The engineers, the consultants, the developers working on these systems are not evil. They genuinely believe they are building tools that help fight crime, process data, and serve real business needs.

They are right. Those uses are real.

But what they are not connecting is the surveillance capability sitting on top of all of it. The ability to score, flag, censor, restrict, or cut off any American citizen based on what they say, where they go, who they talk to, and what they believe. Sarah calls it exactly what it is: a digital prison. And the people building it are walking into work every day thinking they have a good job.

It is the Death Star problem. At what point does a senior engineer on that project look around and say,

“Wait. I’m helping build something that could destroy everything I love.”

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐈𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐟

If this surveillance grid were harmless, they would not be so aggressive about silencing the people talking about it.

Sarah Westall has been battling Google in federal court. Her channel metrics, according to Google’s own AI tool, Gemini, show she should be one of the largest voices on the platform. Gemini told her directly: these are the best engagement metrics it had ever seen, with the biggest gap between performance and reach it had ever measured. Yet she is suppressed, shadow-banned, and was banned outright while her stolen content was being monetized by other channels that Google left up.

That is not an accident. That is policy.

I have 135,000 subscribers on YouTube. I have been at roughly that number for four years. I am not growing because they will not let me grow. The same is true for Sarah, and for dozens of other independent voices asking the questions they do not want asked.

They cannot control what we say at a dinner table. They cannot control what we talk about at the local farmers market. But they can make sure our voices never reach the masses on public platforms. That is exactly what they are doing.

𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐏𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐅𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐁𝐚𝐜𝐤

Here is the hope, and there is real hope.

Local communities are starting to push back. Over $64 billion worth of data center projects have been blocked or delayed by local opposition. A 40,000-acre data center in Utah, roughly two and a half times the size of Manhattan, was recently approved over the objections of hundreds of local residents. But those residents showed up. They stood in that meeting room and they said: No. Not here.

In Salt Lake City. Not a small rural town. A city. Hundreds of people.

Imagine if it had been ten thousand. That is the power that we have if we understand what is being built.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐃𝐨 𝐑𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐍𝐨𝐰

Knowledge without action is just anxiety. So here is what matters.

Start by talking about this locally. At your church, around your dinner table, with your neighbors. They cannot algorithmically suppress a conversation in your living room. Word of mouth is still the most powerful distribution tool in the world, and it is the one they have no answer for.

Support independent voices. Subscribe on Substack, follow on Rumble, and share content directly with people you trust. When you bypass the platforms that suppress these conversations, you become part of the solution. And be skeptical of voices who claim to be independent but have no visible funding model. If you cannot tell how someone is paying their bills, that is a question worth asking out loud.

Protect your wealth now. The same system building this control grid wants you dependent on their financial rails. A digital dollar means a digital leash. Gold and silver are a way out of that system, and they have held their value for thousands of years for a reason.

Most importantly, build real community. This is why we built the Ark Community at buildtheark.com. Local, real, human relationships are the one thing they cannot hack. A neighbor who knows you, a church that prays with you, a network of families who look out for each other. That is the infrastructure that matters most when every other system fails.

The show’s tagline has always been: You’re not crazy. You’re paying attention.

If what you just read made your stomach drop a little, good. That means you are seeing clearly. Now take that clarity and do something with it. Because the people who built this system are counting on most Americans doing nothing.

Don’t give them that satisfaction.

Share this with someone who needs to read it. It matters more than you know.
