James GleickNothing to see here. Just an oligarch trying to buy the election.
(If Biden wins and the Democrats take Congress, a wealth tax on billionaires is a real possibility. That might bother Elon Musk a little.)
Oliver SchafeldHe wouldn't even need to pay to make a contribution.
Just keep X/Twitter open for bots and largely unmoderated until November and take the EU's DSA penalty like the valiant billionaire freedom fighter he is.
The maximum penalty would probably be equivalent to 4 (months) * 45 million (per month) = 180 million (about 6% of X's estimated revenue).
