Democrats Go After Humiliated Musk With Salute Attack Ad [View all]

Source: Daily Beast

Published Apr. 2 2025 11:45AM EDT

Democrats are doubling down on attacks targeting Elon Musk by resurrecting his evocative straight-arm salute in an ad set for release in battleground states across the U.S.

The move comes after Musk’s humiliating attempt to win over voters in Wisconsin ended with a damning state Supreme Court defeat for conservative Brad Schimel.

The ad zeroes in on Musk’s feud with Senator Mark Kelly. The DOGE billionaire branded the retired astronaut and Navy vet a “traitor” after the lawmaker said the U.S. should “stand with Ukraine.”

The digital ad from 314 Action–a progressive advocacy group dedicated to getting Democrats with a scientific background elected–pays tribute to Kelly before complaining that Musk had taken “billions in federal funds” and was firing “thousands of our veterans.” “It’s time to fire Elon Musk,” the ad concludes, showing footage of Musk making his controversial salute at Donald Trump’s inauguration rally.
