Canvassers discovered they were working to drum up turnout for Trump after signing non-disclosure agreements
Elon Musk’s get-out-the-vote effort for Donald Trump has come under renewed scrutiny after paid canvassers reported not knowing beforehand that they were being hired to support the former president.
Workers recruited by Musk’s America Pac to canvass in the battleground state of Michigan only discovered they were working for the Space X and Tesla entrepreneur to drum up voter turnout for Trump after signing non-disclosure agreements, Wired reported.
“I knew nothing of the job, or much of the job description, other than going door to door and asking the voters who are they voting for,” a canvasser who was flown to Michigan from another state told the website. “Then, after I signed over an NDA, is when I found out we are for Republicans and with Trump.”
The canvassers also said they faced threats to their working conditions if they failed to meet stringent door-knocking targets.
Sooo… Modern slavery is the new thing in campaign work?
How else am I supposed to interpret the threat of leaving someone with a Huge bill to pay and no money in an unfamiliar place unless they meet a quota?
