No surprise here—just another billionaire quietly pulling the strings to push a conservative agenda while pretending to be neutral.
Honestly, I'm not surprised. People should be able to spend their money however they want, and Musk is no different. It’s kinda funny how people freak out only when billionaires donate to Republicans, but no one bats an eye when they bankroll Democrats. At the end of the day, the real issue is how much influence government has over our lives in the first place.
