And billionaire Trump donor Elon Musk ā€“ who is overseeing the administrationā€™s controversial effort to rapidly shrink the federal government ā€“ has criticized ActBlue, seeking to tie it to protests and acts of vandalism against his electric-vehicle company Tesla. He has argued, without evidence to substantiate his claims, that some prominent Democrats ā€“ including one who died in 2019 ā€“ were funding ActBlue and the protests.

ā€œSomething stinks about ActBlue,ā€ MuskĀ postedĀ earlier this month on his social media platform, X.

    Democrats share their lists whenever each other are in tight races. Itā€™s annoying that you end up getting perma-spammed, but I do think ActBlue is providing a good service. Theyā€™re kinda shooting themselves in the foot because unsolicited emails get flagged as spam and most email providers use crowdsourced spam detect.
