Elon Musk responded to recent findings from the House of Representative’s investigation into potential ActBlue campaign finance fraud using foreign money to influence US elections, calling their practices “extremely illegal.”
The Gateway Pundit has reported extensively on the laundering of money to political campaigns through fraudulent small-dollar donations to ActBlue, also known as “smurfing.” These contributions are made through identity theft, often using senior citizens’ personal information to funnel money into political causes.
Much of this money appears to come from foreign sources and is being laundered by Democrats through Ukraine. The Gateway Pundit recently reported that former Polish Minister Piotr Kulpa said up to half of the US aid to Ukraine was laundered by Ukrainians, and much was given to US Democrats.
Some of the individuals accused of this fraudulent scheme include Soros-funded Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, Soros Funded Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, Democrat Senator Tammy Baldwin (WI), Democrat Senator Raphael Warnock (GA), and Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Janet Protasiewicz.
Previously, James O’Keefe uncovered the massive scheme targeting senior citizens who had no idea they were donating thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars to ActBlue.
Additionally, last week, a Wisconsin judge has approved a subpoena for documents requested in an October lawsuit alleging nearly 400 incidents of identity theft to make fraudulent donations to Democratic campaigns through ActBlue “smurfs,” The Gateway Pundit reported.
This and the House Admin Committee’s findings should open the door for a range of investigations, including criminal investigations, into the suspicious fundraising platform.
As The Gateway Pundit reported on Wednesday, the House Administration Committee’s investigation into the dark-money democrat donation platform found that ActBlue changed its policies to automatically reject donations from prepaid cards and sanctioned foreign countries in September. This gives more credibility to the claims that Ukrainian aid money is being laundered back to the United States to influence elections.
The House Administration Committee is now also seeking answers from Sift, the company that “provided ‘fraud detection and prevention services’ for ActBlue.” Both Chairman Bryan Steil (R-WI) and Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, have sent a request to Sift’s CEO, Kris Nagel, requesting the company’s cooperation with oversight and to provide a list of documents dating back to January 2020.
The House’s investigation into smurfing and illegal donations through ActBlue finally comes after years of reporting on the topic by The Gateway Pundit and others.
House Speaker Mike Johnson shared the discovery of potential ActBlue campaign finance fraud Wednesday on X, commenting, “Our work here is just getting started.”
Tesla and Space X CEO Elon Musk, who President Trump has tapped to co-lead the Department of Government Efficiency, an outside consulting agency to cut trillions of dollars in government waste, responded, “Wow, extremely illegal.”

Investigative journalist and O’Keefe Media Group founder James O’Keefe highlighted his past reporting on the issue from nearly two years ago, stating, “This isn’t news to us—we’ve been investigating ActBlue fraud for years. Illegal donations threaten election integrity. The work to expose the truth continues…”

Hopefully, during President Trump’s second term with Pam Bondi as Attorney General, Congress will get serious with their investigations and successfully refer criminal and civil charges to the Department of Justice.
