Fake election news ads are luring people into investment schemes. We got some taken down
Fake ads that purport to show CBC News articles are once more circulating online — with the end goal of convincing Canadians to sign up for sketchy investment schemes. The CBC’s Visual Investigations unit looks into how the ads have changed and what to watch out for.

#Trump said he doesn’t know #TrevorMilton but was told that the way Milton was treated by the justice system was “very unfair.”

“And they say the thing that he did wrong was he was one of the first people that supported a gentleman named Donald Trump for president,” Trump said. 🤮🤮🤮

Trump also said he acted after receiving some “fantastic recommendations”about Milton.[💰]

the #TrevorMilton (#Nikola Motor fraudster) pardon is not going over well with the #MAGA crypto bros, many of whom were scammed by... Trevor Milton (which should be unsurprising - these are gullible people who love trading meme stocks, AKA “the primary market for #NKLA shares”).

Tesla bros are also pissed, because Milton's whole scam was basically pretending to be Elon Musk for trucks.

"[Trevor Milton] did nothing wrong and he's a good person." - Donald Trump

"Trevor Milton donated $1.8 million to Trump and his lawyer is #PamBondi's brother." - me
