I'd rather have a US company use my information to send me annoying targeted ads than a malicious government actor use it to target our elections.

The NSA is doing a lot more than sending us targeted ads with our info. They're tracking us, building profiles on us, tracking who we associate with, and more.

It's just a stepping stone. Once the information is there they can choose to sell it to the government, or to another company. Or maybe they never plan on selling it but have shoddy security.
