德州奥斯汀约60人到马斯克住所外集会庆祝选举结果

德克萨斯州奥斯汀市郊西湖山(West Lake Hills)11月7日下午约60人来到与亿万富翁埃隆·马斯克相关的住所外集会,以街头派对形式庆祝中期选举结果。
参与者乘坐两辆派对巴士和十余辆汽车抵达,现场播放音乐,有人身着充气服装跳舞,主办方称活动为“人民胜过亿万富翁选举后派对”。活动由 VOCAL-TX、美国大众民主中心(Center for Popular Democracy)和人民行动(People's Action)三个组织发起,三家机构2024年合计收入5610万美元。
组织者称,集会旨在庆祝选民拒绝了富豪资金对选举的影响。马斯克在本轮选举周期内的政治支出引发争议,按联邦选举委员会备案统计约为4.45亿美元,当地媒体的估算则接近4.74亿美元,其中约2.12亿美元通过相关政治委员会支持德州共和党人肯·帕克斯顿竞选参议员,帕克斯顿最终落败。奥斯汀当地媒体报道称,集会过程和平,未见冲突报告。
About 60 People Party Outside Musk's Texas Home in Austin to Celebrate Election Results
About 60 people gathered on the afternoon of November 7 outside a West Lake Hills home, in the suburbs of Austin, Texas, associated with billionaire Elon Musk, holding a street party to celebrate the midterm election results.
Participants arrived on two party buses and in more than a dozen cars. Music played and some attendees danced in inflatable costumes at the event, billed by organizers as the “People Over Billionaires Election After Party.” It was organized by VOCAL-TX, the Center for Popular Democracy, and People's Action, three groups that reported a combined $56.1 million in 2024 revenue.
Organizers said the gathering celebrated voters' rejection of wealthy donors' influence on elections. Musk's political spending this cycle has drawn controversy: Federal Election Commission filings put it at about $445 million, while local media estimates put the total closer to $474 million, including about $212 million spent through allied political committees backing Texas Republican Ken Paxton's U.S. Senate bid, which Paxton ultimately lost. Austin local media reported the gathering was peaceful, with no reports of clashes.
