Absolutely! One single UNELECTED individual should NOT be allowed to buy an election outcome simply because of their wealth. It’s wrong, it’s anti- democratic, anti- American. It’s purely and entirely corrupt.

But hold him accountable first. The problem with deporting him (which I fully support) is that he will end up in a country where he can do even more damage. If that’s possible.

The ugly fact of the matter is that Trump’s pal, Musk, is again paying hundreds of millions of dollars to buy an election for a Party of Oligarchs. They don’t want the best for America— they want to own it.

Can you discuss the danger of having a billionaire making consequential military decisions? Why does he has access to our military information? No money should go X Space until Musk divest from the company & no longer has controlled. Musk is a safe threat to our national security.

Maybe confiscate most he has because it's our tax money and he commits fraud. Space X and StarLink is a national security threat. Paid for by all of us with our tax money.

We're seeing in real time how the extreme concentration of wealth is distorting our politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people. Taxing the rich isn't just an economic issue, it's a defense of our democracy. Robert Reich

It appears Elon managed to kill the Musk movie. It’s been pulled from theaters. Nobody is talking about it anymore. The long movie about the blood girl filled the void. I find Musk’s extreme wealth terrifying.

I'm all for what you are suggesting, but can this really be done on the Congressional level, considering that it might violate Citizens United because you are limiting speech?

have you switched parties? republican SCOTUS decisions have consistently struck down campaign finance laws. the problem is coming primarily from the Republican party which is pleased to have access to unlimited cash.

i'm not allowed to contribute more than 150 dollars to a candidate because I work in finance. i can influence nothing and I have no money to sway anyone. why is this clown allowed to pump as much as he wants wherever he wants.

No one person should have the power to put their racist, sexist, drug-fueled needs above those of the rest of the country. The taxpayers of the US funded Elon's ideas, to the tune of $38B in subsidies, contracts and tax breaks. He should pay it all back.

You may be looking at the phrase the wrong way. Yes, we need to prevent billionaires from financing political campaigns (which is what you imply) but if we made lobbying, paying politicians anything but their salaries and all investments in a 💯 blind trust then the incentive would be removed.

Remember how for years, GOP was always talking about how business people in gov't could do better? Well? How about the AI guys? How about private running our prisons?

Why don’t we at least tax this spending to pay for a public matching funds program. Getting “money out of politics” is not what we need. Campaigns need some $$ to talk to voters in a country this size. We need to get corruption out of politics.

IF #ELONMUSK ORDERED #STARSHIELD TO BE TAKEN DOWN AND IT CAN BE PROVEN THAT HIS ACTIONS ALLOWED THE #RUSSIAN MISSILES TO HIT #UKRAINE AND KILL CHILDREN, #MUSK SHOULD BE TAKEN TO THE HAGUE, PUT ON TRIAL AND IF CONVICTED, SENT TO PRISON.

Elon Musk's behavior and audacity to throw around his limitless money to get what HE wants is all an updated SCOTUS will need in 2029 to overturn the two horrendous rulings made that gave the wealthiest Americans the ability to singlehandedly force their POV on the U.S. IOW, screw everyone else

Start with Musk, skip Soros, ActBlue, and every dark-money Democrat ATM. Funny how 'money out of politics' always means Republicans stop and your side keeps the vault open.

This fascist is trying to sponsor with limitless funding Tommy Robinson and Rupert Lowe. We need to work fast to disconnect his Goebbels retro Radio tentacles.

And then we need to tax the wealthy. They have too much power now over our lives. If my property value can be raised & taxed before I sell my house, their stock value can be taxed before they sell it. #WealthTaxNow

Way overdue...midterms are example of the need for limits on candidate's financing & donors. Musk should not be involved to the extent that he is. He's not alone. There are many trillionaires/billionaires putting $$$ towards candidates' coffers. $$$$ not only to get elected, but $$$ to buy favors.

We need to get billionaires out of life. Let's start with musk. We need to get rid of capitalism and move to something far more equitiable. Where all jobs (except politician) can reach universal max pay. How long it takes to get there is based on how much worth it is to society.

This is exactly what we need to get our Country back to where it once was.. Blessed and Governed "For The People By The People" Big money in Politics has corrupted every aspect of our Government...

The man who dropped out of Stanford in violation of his student visa? The Nazi saluting Ketamine addict who was responsible for disseminating private information about American citizens in his “DOGE” evisceration of Social Security — violating federal laws?

Let’s start with his so called naturalization. Here’s a guy who clearly lied on his application for citizenship. I don’t care how much money he’s got. I just realize that it’s OUR tax dollars he’s using to sway elections.
