Just thinking about the remarkable fact that Elon Musk will have dropped nearly a half a billion dollars on this election with no return... wow.

Yes, and many other wealthy folks wasted lots of money. They could have just paid what they should have in taxes.

Dear Elon, Your hundreds of millions could not buy the American voter. We have more power than you can imagine. You love money. We love freedom. @elonmusk – at Edgewood, KY

Remarkable that Musk has gone from a respected entrepreneur to a despised pariah. Not smart enough to realize that Everything Trump Touches Dies (ETTD).

Negative return. He is coming out of this far worse than if he had done nothing.

Exactly the opposite effect.

Everyone keeps dunking on Elon (and rightfully so), but understand this. Him spending nearly $450 million on an election while being worth roughly $900 billion is like someone with $100,000 in net worth spending $50 and losing. Yeah, it kinda sucks, but he’s not gonna dwell on it. And that’s the problem. This is why Citizens United and the campaign finance system it helped create are so destructive. The ultrawealthy can spend hundreds of millions trying to influence our elections, lose, and barely feel it.

Just think about Jackson dropping $200 million+ of his own money in Georiga (100+ in primary & 100+ in general election) and walking away with nothing.

I think it may have backfired a bit. Do people in Texas appreciate these carpetbaggers coming into the state and throwing their money around?

Not as big a wow as Michael Bloomberg's billion dollars for Guam.

I guess this will be the last we hear from @BernieSanders and @TheDemocrats about getting money out of politics.

Yay! Fuck him…

Money well spent if you ask me! Remember, when Elon does poorly, we all do well! 😃

The remarkable fact is that he could do such a thing and not feel the slightest financial pinch. #EatTheRich

I think he did it in part to make Michael Bloomberg feel better :)

How can you ignore the bigger picture, Texas is now California, the border will be opened, cartel business will thrive in Texas bleeding into middle America, trafficking will resume, gun ownership will be targeted, Socialism via DSA will be ushered in. Musk is not the god damned issue here.

And he still has $990,000,000 to spend on the next election

Did anyone think that money would make a dent? Can we dispense with the “buying elections” baloney?

Yet you will all still claim he bought an election or something. The next 2 years are going to be full masks off.
