Elon Musk has spent at least $276 million since July to boost Republican candidates, a record-breaking sum.

That’s just 0.028% of his total net worth.

Oligarchs can rig the system at the expense of everyone else, and only spend pennies doing so.

We must get Big Money out of politics.

#WolffBites: Capitalism made the already richest man in the world - Musk - much richer (a trillionaire). Musk uses that money to buy US elections so officials will preserve the capitalism that enriched him. That is the opposite of democracy.
