Insane. Actually insane. Let’s make his money this year a waste, shall we?

Elon Musk has spent more money on American elections in the last two years than George Soros has in his entire life.

Let Elon see the same results he saw in that Wisconsin Supreme-Court election he tried to buy: 0️⃣

More proof that the Citizens United ruling was a disaster for democracy. There needs to limits to how much one person or corporation can donate.

Mostly just surprised that for all the whining about Soros over the years, he didn't really kick into gear until 2016.

Its not insane at all, its actually the norm in your politics which is the actual insanity. When the bastards talked of trickle down economics, that they meant is this insanity.

I'm probably preaching to the choir, but this makes me absolutely sick. Imagine all the people that could be fed, the kids that could be educated, the national parks that could be improved, etc. with all of the money spent on elections. From both sides. Somehow, someday this needs to be illegal.

As do most of us, I get texts & emails galore asking for political donations. I voted early for a straight blue ticket, but I’m not giving money to anyone’s campaign until Citizens United is no longer the law of the land.

Enough people dislike Musk that this should be a no-brainer: Get rid of Republicans, get rid of Musk. Musk & Companies should have NOTHING to do with our government.

The beauty of the modern economy is that we’ve reached a point where "financial ruin" is just another quarterly KPI. Let the shareholders feel the vibe shift.

He wouldn't have any money if he was normal and moral. He started with seed money from Daddy (who obtained it by exploiting people) and conned, lied, and stole his way into more money.

It is a most expensive undertaking to purchase the affection of the American people, particularly when so many of them have resolved to dislike you for free. When one man's fortune outweighs the voices of millions, the republic is in danger of becoming an auction house.

I had to think a minute, I had George Soros momentarily confused with George Santos. But then, lightbulb, Soros, the guy who scares magas to death even though he really hasn't done anything.

AMERICANS! Let’s TEACH that non-genius ELMO a LESSON he won’t forget! HIS MONEY can’t BUY AMERICAN VOTES! HIS MONEY can’t WIN over AMERICAN VOTES! RICH PEOPLE like him are ZEROS compared to SMART CARING AMERICAN DEMOCRATIC LEADERS!

that's the plan - I hope Democrats win so big and the overwhelming voters who vote Republicans out make their voices heard loudly and we can start taking down those assholes enabling Trump - from the top down immediately - starting With the Speaker of the House who is as corrupt as they come ...

Wonder what will happen when repuglicans are nearly wiped out, will big pockets with and pledge to democrats in hope of recouping the gamble they lost?

We should look into his citizenship while we are at it. His entire business ecosystem is funded by US contracts, and therefore they should be made into publicly owned companies when he is deported.

It's insane that not only is one man allowed to have that kind of influence over our (🙄) electoral process, but that this same individual has so much pull over two critical nat-sec agencies *and* is making his own decisions regarding US wartime foreign policy and military strategy. Unacceptable.

He's dumping $$ in Texas. As best I can tell it's all going to TV ads and maybe flying Paxton around TX to so-called rallies where dozens of people attend. From Texarkana (NE corner of state) to El Paso (SW) is 800 miles. This is a big state with 5 major media markets. Spend it all Elmo!

And musk has so far spent the equivalent of someone on $50,000 /year spending $20. People should start pointing that out. Maybe musk could be dared into wasting enough of his ill-gotten gains he'd actually notice.

For the life of me I can't remember articles about George Soros dumping hundreds of millions into specific races. I may be mistaken, but I was under the impression that his support was generally broader.

In essence, court rulings protecting independent political spending opened the door to unlimited super PAC donations. The SC ruled corporations are "people".

Should be a red flag even to those fairly uninformed or educated. He’s sinking money into Republicans winning for a reason. He’s not feeding the poor or curing cancer.

Trump said, arguing increased prices help oil & gas biz in TK, OK & Louisiana before noting that his advisers have asked him not to mention that while “people are paying a little higher” at the gas pump. “I don’t give a damn, I’m gonna say it: We’re making a frickin’ fortune,’” he said. WAPO

Soros backs candidate with progressive social policies. He or his businesses do not profit from his donations. Musk, on the other hand, buys politicians for his own financial gain. Big difference!

Then, let’s take the rest of his money away as well thoroughly ending his contracts, ending his subsidies, lawyer fees. court fines, and naturalization of his assets if a court in the future deems it needed.

The guy who made his trillions on US government contracts, subsidies and tax breaks paid for by Americans should not be allowed to use that money to influence the outcomes of our elections. We need more states to do what Hawaii’s done

ktvu.comNew Hawaiian law limits corporate spending on politics, other states work to follow suitHawaii’s Democratic Governor on Thursday signed into law a bill to stop corporations and "dark money" groups from spending unlimited amounts of money on politics.

This will remove greed-goons, pedophiles, and traitors. Oh, and it will help pay down the GOP deficit. Win-win-win-win.

Not his money. That's the wealth his family stole from South African miners, and that he personally conned from tax payers and out of the global economy to the detriment of humanity. He is a parasite

One man should not have enough money to do this but, more importantly, our laws should not ALLOW one man to do this. We should be a nation of the people not a nation controlled by a wealthy elite.
