Elon Musk strikes again. This time its not even Tesla, it's the fabled "blue wall." Musk's America PAC door knockers were flown to Michigan, driven in the back of a U-Haul, and told they’d have to pay hotel bills unless they met unrealistic quotas. One was surprised they were working to elect Donald Trump. Not the same Elon Musk who's been fighting off discrimination lawsuits at Tesla?!
“I was in shock and disbelief,” says a paid door knocker flown to Michigan to help turn out the vote for former president Donald Trump on behalf of Elon Musk’s America PAC.
Workers say they were tricked and threatened as part of Elon Musk’s Get-Out-the-Vote Effort. In Michigan, canvassers and paid door knockers for the former president, contracted by a firm associated with America PAC, have been subjected to poor working conditions:
A number of them have been driven around in the back of a seatless U-Haul van, according to video obtained by WIRED, and threatened that their lodging at a local motel wouldn’t be paid for if they didn’t meet canvassing quotas. Not even a Tesla!! One door knocker alleges that they didn’t even know they were signing up for anything having to do with Musk or Trump.
