For a multi-billionaire establishment elite plutocrat tech bro like Hitler-salute throwing Mr. Musk, $100 M is chump change. It's 0.01 percent of his $864 B, so like someone with a mere $1 M spending $118, except the money would be worth much more to a struggling millionaire, so less than that.

That's something I'm not sure people understand about economic power. They see a big number and think "Wow, that's a lot." Maybe it's a lot to you, but it's not every much to a billionaire. Indeed, he might not even really care one way or the other, just doing it for s___s and giggles.

In a market system with vast imbalances of economic power, a rich person's weakest, vaguest, most passing whim will take precedence over even the most life-or-death needs of others. If you're a market utopian but you can't see or acknowledge that, you're not being real. You need the ethics to match.

While you're not wrong, every city is heavily blue. The top two each have more people than 40 other states. Only California has more democrat voters than Texas. The gerrymandering and land votes are tough to beat, but this is a winnable situation.
