I don't agree with this. Even though Elon Musk received over $38,000,000,000 in corporate welfare from the federal government, he should still be allowed to vote. Once. What he should *not* be allowed to do is to interfere with *our* votes.

‘We, the people’—not we, the white people—not we, the citizens or the legal voters—not we, the privileged class, and excluding all other classes but we, the people; not we, the horses and cattle, but we the people.” —Frederick Douglass, 1857 www.americaamerica.news/p/showing-tr...
