Super PACs: A Playground for the Wealthy
It seems like every day brings a new headline about Elon Musk and his extravagant antics. This time, he’s not launching rockets or teasing tweets; instead, he’s pouring over $19 million into super PACs aimed at bolstering GOP control across 18 districts. With dollars rolling in, one might wonder if this is just a political investment or a calculated attempt to puppeteer the Republican Party.

Is he simply a financier of brash Republican candidates, or is he cultivating a landscape where control rests firmly in his grasp? With Trump’s shadow looming large, does this truly serve the interests of the American public, or just the whims of a select few?
