@cstross Someone else pointed out that Musk's half billion is the equivalent to $116 out of the pocket of an average person. While it couldn't buy this election, we are not safe when all he and his friends spend even more.

@Axomamma @cstross I think the point though is that this experiment has identified the upper bounds of what unlimited money can buy in an election. Sure, billionaires could spend even more, but it would be unwise to do so because it won’t meaningfully move the result further.
