I've seen a lot of wild things during US elections, but the PAC paying for ads in Jewish neighborhoods claiming Kamala supports Palestine and then running the same ads in Muslim neighborhoods claiming Kamala supports Israel is by far the wildest.
What's even wilder is a significant amount of money come from Elon Musk, and he's potentially their largest source of funding, but it'd be basically impossible for the average voter to figure out where the money came from because it's all routed through multiple dark-money PACs which don't disclose donors.
It took a bunch of different investigation from NYT, WSJ, and WaPo to figure out where the funding was coming from. 404 Media wrote a nice piece which briefly summarizes all the different PACs involved and who investigated them.
