FYI: Ari Emanuel is also best pals with Elon Musk. He's the guy hosing down a pasty, bloated Elon on his yacht in those horrifying pictures from two summers ago. Maybe that context matters to you, maybe it doesn't, just putting it out there.
i mean political megadonor and bundler puts you in a pretty exclusive echelon of asshole and this one is on team blue, not to mention brother of Obama's former Chief of Staff which i think kind of means something in terms of how the foundations of the party apparatus are shifting
i dont think he's really team blue. he's one of the many billionaire or billionaire-adjacent bros who pretend to be team blue so he can fuck with team blue
Obama was extremely good to Elon, Biden hasn't been. I don't think it's so out there to suggest that their loyalties are drifting with/toward Musk, away from Biden. All they seem to care about is money and power, and I can't see any of them suffering much under another Trump administration.
Not sure how else to put it. Musk and the Emanuels are a political faction that was once able to launder their self interest as policy via the Dems and now isn't, so they have drifted away. I think Emanuel is "helping" here the same way Musk's suggestions for the Dems "help" (they don't).
the last article I can find about the PAC (not counting his individual donations and bundling) is that it went dormant in 2018 which would explain why a PAC had under $4k in activity this cycle
