Buying an election, much? Seems like he doesn’t want a Democrat-led congress to do any investigations into his goings-on…

I hope that, following the midterms, the Trump-aligned tech giants will be broken up by antitrust authorities; they are tools of a criminal administration and pose a grave danger to democracies worldwide!

Remember this the next time a billionaire whines about taxing their wealth. They have plenty of cash to influence our votes. They hate the idea of their wealth used to help people.

This is all thanks to the "I've never met a rich person whose side I didn't take in a legal dispute" conservative justices on SCOTUS and their disastrous Citizen's United and McCutcheon v. FEC decisions.

So just like JK Rowling, everyone can definitively say that financially supporting any of Musk's business will directly impact people's lives in the wrong way. Got it.

Great. Let him put his face out there with JD and all the other weirdos and make more Republican voters stay home and be depressed. Fine by me. It'll just make it all the more delicious when the Democrats take control and investigate his ass.

I hope his political spending helps keep local news outlets funded & alive. Then I hope the GOP loses big time. Then it will be money well spent.

Because he broke immigration law and lied on his naturalization forms, he is a candidate for deportation should people with integrity and fortitude ever gain power. Seems unlikely.

A foreigner trillionaire is openly trying to dictate the outcome of an election. Read that slowly. There is no such thing as free & fair elections if that is allowed to happen. It’s not the will of the people, but the will of a single person forcing their will upon the people. Enraging, no?

That guy is simply spending billions in an attempt to coverup him and all the regime’s wrongdoing from ever seeing the light of day.

I can't figure out why Musk had to launder $158 Million they the Senate PAC instead of giving the money directly to the Texas PAC. Is there some law he was trying to skirt? bsky.app/profile/wire...

It’s great that he’s throwing away his money, but a shame that all these hundreds of millions barely make a small dent in his obscene, ill-gotten wealth
