@wildgrass saidKamala got a BILLION! And she still wasted it, and ended up 20 million in debt. What's your point? Trump didn't even spend all his.
They are oligarchs.
E.g. Trump's 26 biggest billionaire backers, worth a combined $143 billion, poured $162 million into his reelection.
They expect something in return.
@DJJ saidThe point is they are oligarchs, not megadonors.

Obvious from the OP that Trump's donations were just an example. The same principle applies to both sides,.providing that their candidate wins.
Also obvious that the most prominent oligarch of the bunch donated a ton to trump and will be working in the administration.

@Mott-The-Hoople saidYeah. I get it. Y'all are just saying other donors are also oligarchs.
is it george soros?
Except soros oligsrch won't have a lot of power in Trump's administration. Musk oligarch will.
Why would we allow people who receive billions in federal tax dollars to support specific politicians who promise to continue or increase their already absurd handouts?

You forgot to include Elon, so 143 bil plus elons 300 bil, you talking 431 bil here.
Elon bought his way into his exalted office job, 100 million was the price, and Trump doesn't even LIKE Musk, especially the smell.
@sonhouse saidForgot? No I did not.

Since election day, Elon Musk has been camped out at Mar-A-Lago, apparently "behaving as if he is co-President".
The George Soros of the Right.
Oligarchs. These folks only want to enrich themselves, and they've infiltrated the government in order to do it. Trump has Elon by his side all the time now.
@wildgrass saidyep, freedom of speech is a right the left has tried to take away…just admit why you dont like Musk

@Mott-The-Hoople saidLOL you think Musk wants free speech? 🤣 Mott, always reliably gullible and/or delusional.

Back in reality, content moderation at Twitter is higher and more biased than it's ever been.
The examples of Musk’s hypocrisy are so frequent, it’s hard to keep track of them all. Musk was once caught taking advice from rightwing online friends about which leftwing accounts to ban next. At times, it seems he’s purposefully throttled links to news sites he doesn’t like. According to former Twitter employers, in the early days of his ownership Musk did a 180 on his supposed principles when faced with pressure from advertisers, going from a leave-everything-up stance to a take-everything-down one.
