Wanna know why Massie is at odds with Trump? He's being funded to do so

The second-largest individual contribution came from billionaire Susquehanna International Group co-founder Jeff Yass, who gave $10 million in June to a super PAC affiliated with Club for Growth, the influential conservative political organization that has feuded with Trump and formed an effort to stop him from winning the nomination; Yass also gave the group $5 million in February and $1 million in October.
How is he different than AIPAC? Inquiring minds want to know
quote:
Media reports on Yass have focused on his outsized role in the Republican party, to which he is now the largest political donor in the 2024 election cycle, contributing more than $46m thus far. But little has been reported about his involvement in funding groups advocating a pro-Israel US foreign policy, and hawkish US policies in the Middle East
Massie was likely paid to endorse Desantis
quote:
Trader and investor Jeffrey Yass donated $2.5 million to DeSantis’ state political committee
Jeff Yass is Jewish, and a huge supporter of Massie. Sorry you guys failed the Jewish/ Desantis/ Massie test

Thomas Massie, facing Trump’s opposition, gets a hand from billionaire megadonor
Jeff Yass, who recently — and indirectly — gave $1 million to a new super PAC that in recent weeks has been advertising in support of Massie’s reelection, according to records filed with the Federal Election Commission. Those records show Yass has set aside millions more in what could potentially be used for additional independent spending to help reelect Massie.
Aint it funny how all these Florida boys, and dedicated Rob! supporters are such huge supporters of a congressman and Senator from Kentucky? They couldnt even name another congressman from KY
Oh wait, why did I just include Rand Paul? Heres why
quote:
Jeff Yass contributed $8 million last month to a super PAC affiliated with U.S. Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky. The super PAC is called Protect Freedom PAC, according to a report it filed with the FEC.
Yass has bankrolled Protect Freedom since it was created in 2017 by former Paul campaign operatives. (The recent $8 million brings to about $30 million the total that Yass has given to Protect Freedom, about 80% of all receipts during the lifetime of Protect Freedom.)
Do I even need to remind you that Massie married a Rand staffer? Always follow the money

This will not matter to the Massie Bots. These are the same people who were formally known as Desantards. It is not about the politician, no matter how much principle they claim to have and no matter how many times they lie about having voted for Trump all three times. For them this is about supporting a candidate they believe can wrangle control of MAGA away from Trump.

Thats why they all lied about Trump not being able to beat Biden. They didnt want him to cement his hold on the party
And its why you can trace Jeff Yass money to many of the anti-Trump politicians

This is damning to massie bros

Massie Derangement Syndrome continues.
Also:
So, Trump lied about his wife.
You thought you had a gotcha here but it's not.
We should learn more about this Yass guy.
In 2025, Yass has been one of the biggest backers of Trump and Republican PACs:
$16 million to the MAGA Inc. PAC, the largest contribution from an individual to its coffers so far this year;
MAGA Inc. is a prolific pro-Trump super PAC, raising $177 million in the first half of 2025. The PAC is expected to spend heavily in the 2026 midterms and has already spent over $1.8 million against Republican Rep. Thomas Massie for opposing parts of Trump’s agenda.
$10 million to the School Freedom Fund, a Club for Growth affiliate PAC that backs candidates who promote publicly-funded vouchers for private schools;
$10 million to V-PAC: Victors, Not Victims, a fund backing Vivak Ramaswamy for Ohio’s 2026 Senate race;
$740,100 to the NRSC Victory fund, the PAC for Republican Senatorial campaigns;
$100,000 to Emmer Majority Builders, the PAC for House Majority Whip Tom Emmer.
Jeffrey Yass is the co-founder and managing director of the investment and trading firm Susquehanna International Group.
In the 2024 election cycle, Yass was a major donor to Republican-aligned PACs. He donated:
$19 million to the Club For Growth Action PAC, a powerhouse donor in both Republican primaries and general elections;
$13 million to the Protect Freedom PAC, a libertarian PAC founded by former campaign operatives of Senators Ron and Rand Paul;
$8 million to the School Freedom Fund;
$5.2 million to the AFC Victory Fund, a PAC operated by the school voucher and education reform advocacy group American Federation for Children;
Betsy DeVos, former Secretary of Education during the first Trump administration, previously served as AFC’s chairman. Current board members include chairman William Oberndorf, a billionaire GOP donor who led the recall effort of San Francisco Attorney General Chesa Boudin, former Wisconsin Republican Governor Scott Walker, and Stacy Hock, a board member of the right-wing Texas Public Policy Foundation and former Texas GOP 2020 Victory Chairwoman.
$247,799 to the National Republican Senatorial Committee.
Yass and Susquehanna were early investors in ByteDance, the China-based firm that created and owns TikTok. Yass’ share in the company is roughly 7%.
In March 2024, ahead of a House vote on legislation to ban TikTok, Yass met with then-candidate Donald Trump. Despite having spearheaded the initial push to ban the app, Trump reversed his position on the legislation just days after the meeting with Yass. Trump claims to have not discussed TikTok in the meeting.
Yass is a major backer of the school choice movement and reportedly discussed education policy in his meeting with Trump. Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill included a provision to implement a national school voucher program, a top priority for the school choice advocates. The voucher program allows for indirect funding of private schools through a dollar-for-dollar tax credit for donations to Scholarship Granting Organizations, which provide funding for private tuitions, school supplies, and homeschooling.
According to a study by the Economic Policy Institute, school voucher programs undermine public education funding through downward pressure on public school enrollment. Based on a review of Cleveland’s voucher program, EPI found that a 5% decline in enrollment can cost a school district between $12 and $31 million.
Susquehanna owned a 2% stake in Digital World Acquisition Corporation prior to its 2024 merger with Trump Media & Technology Group, the parent company of Truth Social.

Seems like Yass is a pretty big Trump supporter. Also seems like he's a big proponent of school vouchers and weakening the Dept of Ed, and Massie submitted a bill to shut down the Dept of Ed. Yass is giving money to both Trump and Massie to protect his interests. Note the ByteDance thing as well. Just like Trump donated to D's and R's, and most billionaires do this as well, it appears Yass (net worth about $65B) has been doing the same.
The source you used for this flimsy hit piece on Massie is hot garbage.

Jeff Yass funded Ron Paul's 2012 campaign. He's a long time libertarian. Not the gotcha you think this is

So Jeff Yass is funding Rand Paul and Massie to go after Trump. While at the same time funding Trump.
I must admit that is brilliant.

Well, if you lie, I guess he did
quote:
ByteDance, donated $16 million to Trump’s super PAC, MAGA Inc., in the first half of 2025, according to a new FEC filing. Yass holds a 7 percent stake.
Since January, Trump has issued a series of executive orders delaying enforcement of the TikTok ban. The ban was initially set for January 19 under the law passed by Congress in 2024 that requires ByteDance to sell off the app or have it taken down by app stores and web hosting services.
According to the filing, Yass made a $1 million donation to MAGA Inc. on January 17, three days before Trump took office. Donations came as the fate of TikTok was being negotiated inside the White House. These were Yass’s first-ever donations to a Trump-affiliated political group
He was trying to buy Trump AFTER he tried to stop him from getting re-elected
Hes owned Massie and Rand for years
