8 hours agoi think Musk saw behind the curtain and realized just how cheaply politicians are being bought up for. I think he did some napkin math and realized he could outbid the current masters of enough of them to gain more power than trying to appease trump.
Fair question but I don’t think it’s the same thing, Bloomberg was trying to buy the public and instill himself in office in a competitive race.
I think the strategy of just finding popular candidates and then becoming their biggest financial supporters should be more cost effective. If it’s a new party there might be great deals for the thrifty oligarch.
