New York Times: “There was a slow start. Mr. Musk fired his initial team after months of work and burning through $20 million, and later replaced his staff in Nevada and Arizona. But now the PAC, primarily though four different companies, is paying for what donors have been told is an operation of more than 2,500 canvassers, largely targeting rural voters in battleground states.
Many wear a uniform of white polo shirts embroidered with an American flag as they try to hit about 150 doors a day.”“Armies of paid door knockers have been deployed before, but seldom on such a short timeline with such a large budget. Mr. Musk himself has poured nearly $120 million into America PAC and recruited other donors.”
“Its deep pockets allow the super PAC to target people likely to support Mr. Trump but whose voting records are so spotty that more traditional field operations would have skipped them. The campaign believes that’s a better use of resources than trying to persuade a dwindling pool of undecided voters.”
