2. According to AdImpact data retrieved at 2:45 p.m. Eastern today, Defendants’ ads ran in nearly 400 spots on programs that began airing at 7 p.m. Eastern last
night—that is, after this Court’s order was in effect. Ex. B.
3. Specifically, “Final Battle” ran in 193 spots during “60 Minutes,” which aired on CBS starting at 7 p.m. Eastern. Ex. B.

Elon Musk firmly believes that he can buy whatever election result he wants or needs, anywhere in the world. But now he's particularly focused on Texas, and horrified by the prospect that the Texas GOP, who are his de facto sock puppets, will lose power. He's opened his check book as never before.

X is the platform of choice for these smears. Musk himself pushed this conspiracy from his own account three times. Democrats need to go to war against Musk because he's already attacking them. He's deeply unpopular. And, as we saw in Wisconsin, voters recoil when he becomes an issue in a race.

advertisements; and it is furtherORDERED that the foregoing instructions bind Defendants' officers, agents, employees, contractors, and anyone acting in concert with them. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(d)(2).
ORDERED that Defendants shall immediately provide a copy of this order to LMD,
under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65(d)(2)(C), and that LMD, as a contractor that is in active concert and participation with Defendants, is enjoined from continuing to run or place the
challenged advertisements; and it is further
ORDERED that Defendants will file a status report within 24 hours of the entry of this temporary restraining order and Section 705 stay, confirming compliance with this Order; and it
is further
ORDERED that this Order shall remain in effect until 14 days from today, subject to an extension of this Court; and it is further
ORDERED that, in the Court's discretion, Plaintiffs shall not be required to post a bond.Case 1:26-cv-08882-JLR Document 41 Filed 10/11/26 Page 4 of 4
