Elon Musk could legally spend 1000x more on influencing these elections
and he'd still be the richest person on the planet.

Wenn Medien jetzt über Elon Musks $276 Millionen "Rekordspende" an die Republikaner vor den Midterms berichten, fehlt mir die Einordnung, wieviel das in Prozent seines aktuellen Vermögens von $1 Billion ausmacht:

0,0276 Prozent.

I suspect this will go about as well as last year’s intervention into the Wisconsin Supreme Court race. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/12/u...

And yet, every single Democratic member of Congress and every progressive organization (except @indivisible.org) still uses X as their primary method of breaking news.

The pro-democracy movement really needs to boycott X.
Musk has funneled more than $276 million into Republican groups and his PAC since July, building a huge turnout operation for the midterms. “The staggering amount of money makes Mr. Musk, the richest person in the world, by far the largest known donor in the midterms”

Musk is a not just a hardcore white supremacist, misogynist, xenophobe, antisemite, Islamophobe. He is also largest donor to Republican Party, in history, by far. And, he bought Twitter to turn into into vehicle for white supremacy, deepfake porn, Republican Party: that is what is means to be on X.

X is the platform of choice for these smears. Musk himself pushed this conspiracy from his own account three times.

Democrats need to go to war against Musk because he's already attacking them.

He's deeply unpopular. And, as we saw in Wisconsin, voters recoil when he becomes an issue in a race.

Zum Vergleich: bei einer Person mit durchschnittlichem Vermögen (Median) in den USA von $69K wären das gerade einmal $19 Dollar.
