Corporate History

Clock Tower X LLC was registered in Delaware and is wholly owned and operated by Brad Parscale, the former digital director and campaign manager for Donald Trump's 2016 and 2020 presidential campaigns. Parscale is widely credited with pioneering the use of Facebook micro-targeting and digital advertising in modern political campaigns.

After departing the Trump campaign in 2020, Parscale transitioned into private consulting. He became Chief Strategy Officer at Salem Media Group, a major conservative media company that operates radio stations, digital platforms, and publishing.

Clock Tower X LLC registered under FARA on September 18, 2025, disclosing a $9,000,000 contract with the State of Israel, routed through Havas Media Germany GmbH. The contract scope includes anti-antisemitism campaigns, AI-driven search engine optimization, social media content creation, and evangelical Christian outreach.

The name "Clock Tower" may reference Parscale's San Antonio operations. The entity was specifically created for this Israel contract — there is no evidence of prior commercial activity under this name.

The $9M contract makes Clock Tower X the single largest individual FARA-registered contractor in the current Israeli influence operation, exceeding Show Faith by Works ($3.26M requested budget) and Bridges Partners ($900K) combined.

Parscale's connection to TPUSA is well-documented. Per public statements, Parscale and Charlie Kirk have maintained a relationship spanning "nearly a decade." This connection raises questions about whether TPUSA's pro-Israel programming is influenced by or coordinated with Parscale's FARA-registered activities.
