After being laid off from Media Matters, where she focused on the rhetoric of Fox News, Kat Abughazaleh responds to Elon Musk's public celebration of her misfortune by launching her congressional campaign. Eyeing the 9th District of Illinois, she leverages her platform as a progressive social media creator, advocating for affordable housing, healthcare, and enhanced social security. Abughazaleh believes in the urgency of her ideas, particularly as Musk's actions have had widespread repercussions on job security for many, including federal employees.
"Karma is real," Musk said.
"I have ideas that I want to push, and I have a big [social media] platform," Abughazaleh told TechCrunch.
"There is absolutely no reason you shouldn't be able to afford housing, groceries, and healthcare with some money leftover," she said in her campaign announcement.
"A lot of people are feeling the impact of Musk's influence on their employment and livelihoods by now."
