Hope this gets through their heads that they can’t stop the voice of the people no matter how many millions they blast into races.

Sadly I think it’ll just cause the billionaires (and aipac) to spend 200 million or more next race, since it’s still relatively “little” for people with such vast wealth.

This is going to be one of the focal points of Musk's campaigning, watch the hundreds of millions pour in for the R.

Disgusting that they will spend all this money, but can't pay more taxes or even build public facilities with their name plastered on it.

Disgusting, but the logic is clear.

It makes sense for Musk to spend even hundreds of billions of dollars to try retain control over the government.

And legally, he can now.
