Elon Musk instrumentalizes LGBTQ+ people as political scapegoats to divert attention from the negative economic and social consequences of his government actions, while voters primarily respond to the cost of living.

Elon Musk is making LGBTQ+ Americans scapegoats to distract voters from the cuts he has made and the chaos he has caused

The text is a press release from the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) criticizing Elon Musk and his America PAC for new anti-LGBTQ+ advertising campaigns in four US states. The HRC argues that Musk uses LGBTQ+ people as scapegoats to divert attention from the negative consequences of his political cuts and the chaos in government. Ramiro Sarmiento is quoted as claiming that problems such as stagnant cancer research or closed hospitals are attributable to Musk's decisions, not to transgender people. The text references polling data showing that the cost of living is the main concern of voters, while anti-trans advertising plays only a minor role in voting decisions. Current population figures are cited that present the share of LGBTQ+ adults in the affected states as decisive for the election. The core message is that voters see through the diversion tactics and should focus on their economic concerns.
