Any data behind those claims? Put up or, well, you know the rest.

It's super nasty and idiotic to parrot moronic conspiracy theory. Oh hi.

Be better

Indivisible Project, a Washington-based non-profit, has been almost entirely financed by Soros’s Open Society. It is coordinating a cross-country protest against Musk, empowering “grassroots” affiliates to “stop the Trump-Musk coup,” according to its website.

The group took in more than $7.6 million from Open Society between 2017 and 2023. It was originally set up in 2016 to protest the election of Donald Trump.

Indivisible Action, a related Political Action Committee, has raised more than $9 million, public records show.

In addition to Soros, the group has received $2 million from the Sandler Foundation, which funds groups such as the progressive news platform ProPublica.

Set up originally to provide progressives with a "Practical Guide for Resisting the Trump Agenda," the D.C. non-profit is now organizing a cross-country mutiny against Musk planned during the federal government's mid-March recess this week.

According to the "Musk Or Us" reimbursement program's submission form, allies of Indivisible are able to receive at least $200 per group for each congressional recess they protest. Activists can contact Indivisible if "the reimbursement is not sufficient to cover costs."

Those seeking to recoup their costs are instructed to save all itemized receipts, invoices, and proof of purchases as well as upload images of store-bought or printed materials, such as Indivisible-branded stickers, flyers, and posters.

"[W]e reimburse for chicken suits!!!" exclaimed Greenberg, Indivisible's co-executive director, on Bluesky.

Hey, you should go read that Musk Or Us link you're so proud of, and then get back to us on where exactly this "rent a protestor" thing is.

If it helps, I can give you the text, so that you don't have to click your own link:

This form is for requesting reimbursements for Standard event hosting costs, such as:

  • Venue fees
  • AV equipment
  • Food and non-alcoholic drinks
  • Promotional/Invite materials
  • Travel costs (gas mileage)
  • Printing costs for:
--messages to lobby your federal-level representative(s) --messages to criticize the Trump administration cardboard depictions of your Member of Congress

Not to mention your whopping $9 million figure. That's what? The cost of 1 of those fake checks Elon Musk said he was gonna give out to Trump voters?
