Elon Musk apparently did much more than spend $175 million on Trump's reelection campaign

It may also explain the amazing election success of Trump in various, sometimes unlikely parts of the country!

Of course, the left tries to spin this as a takeover of America by an oligarchy of rich white males! As if there were no billionaires supporting Mistress Kamala.

Maybe the Dimocrats were just too complacent and lazy this time thinking their black magic woman (song by Fleetwood Mac/Santana) candidate would do he trick! 😊

"... But there is little doubt that the election was a win not only for Mr. Musk but also big-money politics: An ultrawealthy donor took advantage of America’s evolving campaign-finance system to put his thumb on the scale like never before. ..."

"... Over the past few months, Trump’s buddy Elon Musk poured $175m into his campaign. A startling report in The New York Times revealed that canvassers for the world’s richest man knocked on close to 11m doors in the key swing states since August. In Pennsylvania alone, there were 2.3m, the NYT said.

Musk set up his own super PAC, a special campaign committee, to funnel money towards efforts to re-elect Trump. The money targeted voters in the seven battleground states who were known to lean pro-Trump but were often not fussed enough to get out to vote. They wanted to get between 800,000 and 1,000,000 people to the polls. The numbers are huge. ..."

We won’t let billionaires buy up our democracies

Trump’s Victory Is a Major Win for Elon Musk and Big-Money Politics "The candidate largely let the billionaire run his $175 million ground game — a gamble that future candidates could look to emulate."
