Elon Musk’s America PAC and Building America’s Future disclosed spending about $17M on Wisconsin’s court race. Backing the same candidate are billionaire Richard Uihlein and Americans for Prosperity, a dark-money group founded by the Koch brothers. By @megomatz.bsky.social - ThreadSky

Every American generation made more than their parents until 1980. Reagan fixed that - and it has not returned.

If you think Musk's $17Muillion is a staggering sum. Consider the $2Billion Putin spends annually to stay in office. Some of that goes for saturation propaganda crusades in the press and social media, other sums go to create astroturf (fake) groups, and direct-action protests...

reply

ajcoog.bsky.social•3 days ago

...created to pull support away from opposition parties; other sums go to actors and infiltrators posing as dissidents in opposition parties planted there to divide and conquer. Together, it's called Political Technology. It was imported with Trump's 1st regime and has been used by GOP since.

That is outrageous. Those billionaires could have spent their money on more worthwhile causes then to get a judge elected that will do Trump's bidding. They are disgusting. 80 million dollars.. Why don't they just keep their money and file income tax and pay taxes?
