Gavin Newsom Didn't Disclose A $12.3 Million T-Mobile Donation
This seems interesting since it was one month after California settled it's lawsuit blocking the T-Mobile merger with Sprint
This story flew under the radar and it’s not being reported on by many news sources, but of course the former T-Mobile employee turned whistleblower has interesting context to add.
On November 8, 2024 the Los Angeles Times broke this story about Governor Gavin Newsom being fined $13,000 for failing to report on time payments made at his request. One of those donations being $12,264,000 from T-Mobile on April 3, 2020.
Governor Newsom directed T-Mobile to send the $12.3 million to a non-profit named Californian’s Dedicated to Education Foundation (CDE) to provide California students with tele learning devices in response to COVID-19.
This seems like an interesting donation to not report because this is the type of donation you’d celebrate with the community while recognizing T-Mobile for their efforts. That’s red flag #1, there’s many more coming. 🚩
T-Mobile has an initiative called Project 10 million where $10 billion is being donated to connect students in eligible communities, but that initiative is separate from this donation to Governor Newsom. For Project 10 million, students/parents go to T-Mobile’s website to sign up for free internet service for a tablet, hotspot, or laptop. T-Mobile is really just donating service while spying on people with their technology and attaching a value to it in order to say they donated $10 billion to America for the ability to merge with Sprint. What a genius hustle.
The $12.3 million to the CDE Foundation is intended to purchase devices for students. Their tax filings show millions of dollars are spent on small devices but I have no idea what really happens so there’s no point in making assumptions based on tax filings.

In March of 2020, The State of California settled its lawsuit filed in June of 2019 blocking the T-Mobile merger with Sprint. As a reminder, this is one month prior to T-Mobile’s $12.3m donation to a non-profit Newsom directed the money go to.
In the lawsuit, California and T-Mobile agreed on terms to allow the merger to move forward. The State of California did good fighting for its people, but I don’t see the money donated to Governor Newsom mentioned as one of those terms.
🚩 Also, the pricing guarantees have all now expired because for some odd reason California made the deal for 5 years from February 2019. T-Mobile has raised the prices of rate plans in 2024 for new and existing customers while the stock hits all time highs and insiders dump over $5 billion in stock.
T-Mobile Promises to California
You don’t need to read this but I added it if you’re interested.
I’m not here to make accusations, I’m simply pointing out the facts.
🚩🚩Red Flags 🚩🚩
Governor Gavin Newsom didn’t disclose a T-Mobile donation of $12.3 million.
T-Mobile didn’t celebrate donating $12.3 million to Californian’s Dedicated to Education Foundation. I reviewed T-Mobile press releases from 2020 and this donation was not mentioned.
The $12.3 million donation was one month after the merger was approved and it wasn’t mentioned in the merger lawsuit from California.
We have no idea how the $12.3 million was spent.
Not many news sources are talking about this. Most notably right leaning news sources like Fox News, you’d think they’d want to expose Gavin Newsom but my guess is they’re likely protecting T-Mobile.

As a reminder, I am not suicidal. 😉
These two T-Mobile CEOs have caused the majority of my censorship.
They’re accountable for a lot of lies, layoffs in America, and they’ve made a small group of people billions of dollars while the rest of us little people get screwed over.
Newsome. Modern day Nero who fiddled as Rome burned. Trash, - just like his State.
