@lemgandi it worked in 2024, unfortunately.

Oct 21, 2026, 6:05 PM@randahl $366,000,000 on a net worth of $1T is basically the same as someone with a net worth of $1 million spending $366. It is nothing.
This is why the wealthy are so dangerous.- Randahl Finkrandahl@mastodon.socialOct 21, 2026, 9:48 PM
@Niall good point.
Ben Footebenpocalypse@mastodon.socialOct 21, 2026, 6:11 PM@randahl Elon: Has a top secret security clearance.
Also Elon: Smokes weed on Joe Rogans podcast, broadcast to millions. Does not lose his security clearance.
Miles Offit... 🇨🇦🇪🇺🇺🇦dcdeejay@mastodon.onlineOct 21, 2026, 6:12 PM@randahl ...and all the things he did *before* Trump took office that made him spend $290M to get Trump into office in 2024.

Francisca Sinnfsinn@mas.toOct 21, 2026, 6:57 PMI always wondered what Musk had done that led to let it slip that he thought he’d end up in prison if Harris won.

Darkpawdarkpaw@mstdn.socialOct 21, 2026, 6:37 PM@randahl Can't we just yeet this ugly, bloated, illegal immigrant, US taxpayer teat-sucking git into the sun already?
He over-promises on everything. He's just the latest in a long line of American snake oil salesmen, except he's taken on a sheen of Nazism, too.
Horrific human.
xs4me2xs4me2@mastodon.socialOct 21, 2026, 7:50 PMPocket money for him in fact…
Movie2468Movie2468@mastodon.socialOct 21, 2026, 8:04 PM@randahl It is literal pennies considering how many millions go into a billion and how many billions each billionaire has. CHUMP CHANGE! Makes no sense why politics are so cheap.
James M.jamesmarshall@sfba.socialOct 22, 2026, 12:16 AM@randahl to them, it's just part of the cost of doing business.
Ever since Citizens United, our democracy has been a plaything of billionaires. And the billionaires are crazy.

@jamesmarshall I remember one of the biggest money scandals in Danish politics was a businessman who circumvented the transparency limit which requires donations to be public if they are over $4,000. He donated 5 times using different companies, thereby illegally staying anonymous. So $20,000 total — that was the biggest scandal I remember from Denmark.
Now compare that to Musk's donations.

@randahl money has become such an arbitrary numbers game, with wealth having no correlation to merit of any kind, but this arbitrary game has severe consequences. It's been a gladiator economy for a while. I would love to see an economic system that doesn't use money, or at least one that prevents hoarding of resources.

A Guy Named Ed.snowfall@mastodon.socialOct 22, 2026, 1:35 PM@randahl It won't work this time. Let the investigations lead where they will.
Otte Homan :: fediologistotte_homan@theblower.auOct 22, 2026, 9:03 PM@randahl yes. But why is it that I have no hope whatsoever that any future congressional investigation will actually get him into any serious trouble (gaol, $100bn fine, firing squad, "voluntary" first passenger to Mars on a Blue Origin rocket, etc). ?
