FEC Form 13 filing that lists all donors: https://docquery.fec.gov/cgi-bin/forms/C00894162/1889684/f132

“HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA” is listed as having donated “$1000000.00” on 2025-01-06.

There are a lot of other companies that donated similar amounts to which people should pay attention.

Thank you for this. I'm making a long list of brands to avoid.

Ford, Toyota, Caterpiller, FCA, GM....so why focus on Hyundai? GM also donated $1M.

  1. From my comment that you replied to:

  1. Highlighting a fact about Hyundai, to the crowd who is quite likely to care about such things, in a post about Hyundai.

worth noting, Hyundai is also classified as a war profiteer in both Ukraine and Palestine. you will find me in another comment praising the Ioniq 5. This is in contrast to Tesla, bear in mind
