Dan O’Dowd is running for office squarely as a means of bludgeoning the Tesla CEO. Could he screw up things for the incumbent?
04/16/2022 08:15 AM EDTLA JOLLA, Calif. — A California software magnate is preparing to spend potentially millions of his own dollars on a brutal crusade to take down Elon Musk —and he’s doing it all as part of a quixotic and below-the-radar campaign for the U.S. Senate.
O’Dowd, who is running as a Democrat and previously launched a Senate bid in the 90s, has a broadcast reservation starting the week of April 18 and continuing at least through the following week, the records showed. A self-funded TV blitz focused on drivers’ safety and vilifying Musk’s company could resonate with casual voters. That’s especially true at a time when the electorate is turning against the status quo and Musk has turned himself into the bête noire of Democratic politics, even more so amid his current attempts to buy Twitter and turn it into a private company.
“Alex Padilla is key to maintaining and expanding the Senate Majority, and I am proud to endorse him on behalf of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee,” said DSCC Chair Sen.. “Alex is a powerful addition to the United States Senate because of his life experiences and the important fights he takes on, especially for immigrant families. Californians are well served by this proud son of immigrants and the impact he is making for his state and country.
Salas said she doesn’t expect O’Dowd to be successful: “Most people aren’t billionaires and they will see right through what this really is about.”
