I am not denying that Musk is doing this. Who owns and operates vote.org? Just curious

> Who owns and operates vote.org?

Vote Org is a 501(c)(3) [1], so nobody owns it. It doesn't disclose major donors, though its officers and directors circa 2024 are listed there.

(One curiosity on their tax form: Vote Org reports $809k in legal-services spending to Faehre Drinker, but the actual law firm is Faegre Drinker [2]. Probably a typo.)

Long list of services, 1,200 lawyers

Sure, at FaeGre. Not FaeHre.

Again, probably a typo. But if I were up to shady fuckery, that's one way I'd hide it.

Thanks, DOGE! Your founder keeps on giving me confidence everything is being run above board in the Executive Branch.
