Wouldn’t it be great if all the money Musk dumped into this election was wasted? I guess it’s still not that much money for him, but the repudiation of these tactics would be wonderful.
This is an old article. Musk has spent close to half a billion himself this election cycle.
Is there any viable road to campaign finance reform that is also constitutional?
who actually can defend this being good for our society? (that’s not affiliated with a super pac)
There’s a fact about the spend in this that’s so transparently obvious on the face of it that it hardly needs to be remarked upon, and yet the fact that the newspaper of record studiously refuses to remark upon it has led to its total omission from the political discourse, to the degree that both its blinding obviousness and the fact that it’s considered gauche to mention it mean we can’t really talk about what’s happening in our politics right now.
Helluva world we’ve written ourselves into.
How is Elon Musk only being reported as $90M when other sources say it’s more than $400M+? Seems like this is a big discrepancy.

Let me guess, they are all really nice people with no links to Epstein between them /s
If they have the money for this, they have the money to pay more in taxes.
