The problem is that this is less than 0.5% of his net worth. He literally did nothing significant to earn these dollars and the expenditure matters nothing to him in the long term.
> He literally did nothing significant to earn these dollars
A guy who founded several unicorns and multiple fortune 100 companies "literally did nothing significant" to gain his wealth? I'm a fan of absurdism but it's probably best not to apply those comedic principles to your worldview.
I think this is a good reminder that money alone doesn't actually move the needle on election outcomes nearly as much as it's perceived to. Some of the candidates that won yesterday were given up on by the DNC and completely left out to dry.
Had this been a more favorable election cycle, Musk would have been able to lord over the candidates the amount of money he spent on them. As it is, he shot his shot and no campaign should want to accept his contributions again.

How many people did it take to build those companies?
Why does Musk deserve so much attribution for the success? (The Tyranny of Merit is pervasive in our culture)
eg. Shotwell arguably made SpaceX what it is more than Musk

the many can defeat the money
So toxic his billions did little.
Doubling down on the fact the blue wave smashing the Repugnants out of the picture made my entire day.
