@AubreyDeLosDestinos @chatellier Well yes and no. Oui et non. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2024/12/15/elon-musk-trump-election-wealth/ "Elon #Musk put $277 million into the election. He’s $200 billion richer this year."
So he paid 277m then got 200.000m back AND a very influential posistion in the US adminstration. You really cannot say he "bought" it. He #corrupted it.
Elon Musk put $277 million into the election. He’s $200 billion richer this year.

The tech billionaire was the largest donor in the 2024 election cycle. The value of his companies, Tesla and SpaceX, has soared since Donald Trump’s victory.

@radaufheber @chatellier I believe that it's a satire that exaggerates things to make a certain point. So, yeah, technically, it's not correct. But that's not the point.
@AubreyDeLosDestinos Certainly, it does make the point very good. I didn't want to criticise it or have it changed, just wanted to add some facts of how #evil these #billionaires' #coup really is. #Trump #Musk #Murdoch #Thiel #Zuckerberg #Besos

@radaufheber @chatellier It remains to be seen how long will it last because Trump is already tired with Clingy Elon. There was an example of a guy who bought in to Nazis and it didn't save him from anything in the end.
