Elon proved this with the Wisconsin Supreme Court vote.

He will likely dangle hundreds of millions in front of voters across the US to buy their vote without any repercussions.

And then make that money back through the insider dealings that prioritise SpaceX et al.

Which is a sample size of 2. We have 468 seats which are up for election.

Musk's brazen [1] use of money will have an impact. Question is how much.

I don't know how many billionaires support which party, so you may be right. I would be interested in a source. However, I believe there is a difference between donating money to a party and outright buying a vote. Let's see how we all think about it when the Dems start doing it, too.

Musk's money probably helps, his strange need to be a visible face of this seems to possibly be backfiring.
