White Dudes for Harris X account is suspended with organizer saying Elon Musk ‘got scared’ by $4m fundraiser

The X account for “White Dudes for Harris” was briefly suspended on Monday as the group held an online fundraising rally for Kamala Harris – sparking outrage and prompting the organizer to accuse Elon Musk of getting “scared.”

A group of almost 200,000 Democrats, including Hollywood stars and potential running mates, met on a Zoom call on Monday evening to voice their support for Harris’ White House run.

The star-studded online rally raked in more than $3.5m in donations, adding to the $200m haul that Harris’ campaign raised in the first week of her run for the Oval Office.

But, the organizers soon learned that the X account, titled @dudes4harris, had been suspended.

Ross Morales Rocketto, an entrepreneur who runs a “progressive” political recruitment company and one of the organizers of the rally, posted from his personal account that Elon Musk must have got “scared”.

“Got @elonmusk scared,” Rocketto wrote on his personal X account along with a screenshot showing the account’s suspension.

A backup account called @dudesforharris was quickly formed as a replacement while social media users voiced outrage at the group being silenced.

Musk, who has previously described himself as a “free speech absolutist”, publicly endorsed Donald Trump this month and has since posted a doctored video of Harris on X – an apparent violation of his own platform’s rules.

The replacement White Dudes for Harris account quickly racked up 20,000 followers before the original account appeared to be unsuspended.

The reason for the account being blocked is currently unclear and Musk is yet to publicly comment.
