The latest campaign finance reports this week are showing that Elon Musk spent a quarter of a BILLION DOLLARS to get Trump elected, including $40 million into his “lottery” getting people to sign a petition to “protect the Constitution” and $20 million to fund the ironically named RBGPac that attempted to equate Trump’s bragging about ending Roe v. Wade with RBG’s position (hint: that’s a lie).  He also cut $75 million in checks to his America Pac.  In all, Musk spent $277 million in the 2024 election.  He’s also threatening to pay for primary challenges to any Republican who doesn’t bend the knee to Trump.  By spending this kind of money, and his continuous presence at Mar a Lago since the election, Musk has become the walking, talking reason to overturn Citizens United, the idiotic 2010 ruling where a 5 to 4 Republican majority claimed that money is speech and the laughable assertion that the presence of massive amounts of money would not corrupt our elections.

Normal people knew that the logical result of this ridiculous decision would be massive corruption, and that is exactly what has happened in the years since, with Musk bringing that corruption out of the shadows into plain sight.  AND, the problem was magnified this year as he piled into the election too late for those amounts of money to be reported until AFTER the election was over and the damage was done.

I am not laboring under any illusion that the Fuckheads in Congress will do a goddam thing about it, but there it is, in plain sight for us all to see.
