Musk Can Get Richer by Investing in Republicans A cartoon shows an ecstatic Elon Musk hauling in a cargo net full of cash. Elon Musk plans to spend $100 Million to help Republicans this fall. He spent close to $300 million on the 2024 campaigns. Musk’s politics: Musk used a meat axe approach to cutting government departments. He promotes hate speech and lies from extremists. He called Hitler a “far-left socialist” even though Hitler persecuted, outlawed, and murdered socialists. Meanwhile, Musk’s businesses collect about $240 Million PER MONTH from the feds, and unknown billions more in tax breaks or benefits. Musk is what we get when money buys elections and owns politicians. We need more than eliminating Citizens United. We need publicly-financed campaigns and an end to money-based lobbying.
