300M to buy a presidency once every four years, leaving him 3.7B to recoup his costs at 8%/year to stay ahead of inflation. If that wouldn’t work out, swap to purchasing the ears of 20% of all US senators.
Though I didn’t realize that senate races average 90M now, so my figures were out of date. I was just winging it with mental math, nothing authoritative.
What part of Musks personality indicates he is this prudent? My guess is he would gamble it on the next idea but the market will turn in him because losing people billions (the only way he ends up with only 4 billion) is unforgivable.
Trump only lost millions and had to turn to the mob. If Musk worked with the mob he’d be at the bottom of a river in a week .

Fair enough, but even if those figures were on the low end, that’s devastatingly low for what’s at stake
