Original Note:
Sanders says Musk has poured "zillions" of USD into Trump's campaign. This is incorrect. At the time of the article below, it has only been 120 million USD. Additionally, as noted in the second link, "zillion" is an indefinite fictitious number and $120m is a finite amount. https://www.forbes.com/sites/alisondurkee/2024/10/24/elon-musk-donates-another-436-million-to-pro-trump-america-pac/ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indefinite_and_fictitious_numbers#-illion
