> but I'm really saying that saying "other's money is none of your business" can't be a good-faith statement in a world where money can control livelihoods and laws with such ease.

It absolutely can. I have no problem with the fact that money can buy politicians.

I have a problem with the fact that politicians can be bought in the first place.

Which are 2 completely different issues. If you had loads of money, you’d play the game too.

Then we’re “playing the game” by caring how he spends his money and trying to use social pressure to force changes in law. You can’t simultaneously say Musk should be able to do what he wants because he can, and then tell others that they need to behave differently.

Well, you can, but it’d be massively hypocritical and an opinion that’s easily dismissed
