Original Note:
The claim that Musk spent $277M to “buy the presidency” is misleading. Campaign spending isn’t “buying” an election, and U.S. laws regulate contributions to ensure transparency. This oversimplifies the process and falsely implies one person can control election outcomes. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/597#
