Elon Musk is bankrolling an ad campaign to get you to check your voter registration through an innocent-sounding website.
But his real goal is to collect and sell your personal data to advertising companies, Big Tech, and other Republican PACs.

The federal government has censored the work of dozens of scientists, including work by my lab, on the impacts of climate change on Acadia National Park. Signs have been removed from Cadillac and Great Meadow. They’re also removing signs about the Wabanaki’s sacred connections to Cadillac.
