Musk is worth around $232 billion
So $250 million is about .001 of his wealth
It’s like if someone with assets of $500,000
Gave a $585 donation
So
Thanks to excessive greed and Citizens United
Not only can billionaires buy our elections
It doesn’t even cost them all that much
And because he’s now in control of some government spending, his $250m investment has already paid off several times over.
This probably doesn’t include using his social media platform that he owns and paid many billions for. That’s unquantifiable, but only possible when you’re a billionaire.
Same goes for other sources owned by billionaires. The newspapers that refused to endorse. Facebook allowing all kinds of fake news posts.
I mean, we can already quantify a floor of $44 billion. So he spent at least that much buying his way into the White House.
I’m fucken mad, are you?

Huh.

Conservatives can never say another word about gEoRgE sOrOs
That’s what they do, they push stories of democrat boogie men to bury the story of their own.
And yet they will because it muddies the waters
In the context of how much wealth eel on musk has, that falls squarely into the range of “petty cash”
Best democracy money can buy.
Will be his best investment to date. Right up there with Twitter. He will make that back in spades. Can I say that? Ya know…because he’s African? I don’t want it to be taken as racist.
