That’s not even the most current figure. Just for the midterms it’s $366,000,000 and if you add the last election cycle, he’s spent $656,000,000

But if we want to tax him more, Elon defenders come out of the woodwork "he might be a trillionaire but he's not liquid! It's not like he can just spend a trillion dollars, it's not like he can go get it out if the bank. You know nothing about economics!'

Yeah I know he can drop hundreds of millions to buy politicians with no issue.
