For those pushing Dems to start making a stink about Elon's fundraising @joshturek4iowa.bsky.social is now doing that.
Josh Turek vs. Elon Musk.
Working-Class Underdog vs. World’s Richest Man. 🥊💥🥊

Who’s your money on?

For context: Elon Musk is unleashing a firehose of cash to boost vulnerable Republicans in the battle for the Senate majority, including my MAGA opponent here in Iowa.

Why’s he so focused on this race in particular, you ask?

Well, I’m what MAGA billionaires like Musk fear most:

A candidate who’s not a millionaire and isn’t trying to become one.
A leader with a well-calibrated moral compass and strength of character.
A senator who can’t be bought.
Basically, an honest and up-sitting public servant.

Alternative viewpoint from Senator Murphy’s: Having our air & naval bases in the Middle East obliterated by Iran wasn’t due to Trump’s incompetence, rather it was Trump’s objective. Iran accomplished this with help from Russia…and Trump. Trump is working in Russia’s interests, not America’s interest
