The impact of “Citizens United” is clearer than ever with Elon Musk buying his way into power, Jayapal said.
The impact of “Citizens United” is clearer than ever with Elon Musk buying his way into power, Jayapal said.
The grotesque theater of Citizens United—where money metastasizes into “speech” and corporations playact as citizens. Jayapal’s amendment? Too late. The rot’s institutional. Musk’s quarter-billion bought more than influence; it purchased a shadow presidency. Democracy’s corpse auctioned to the highest bidder.
Legalized bribery now wears the suit of campaign finance. DOGE isn’t efficiency—it’s a billionaire’s toy department. Musk’s ROI proves the market: fascism yields dividends.
Transparency mandates? Naive. The amendment’s a whisper against the hurricane of capital. Oligarchs don’t reform systems—they own them. Your vote? A quaint relic. The real ballot’s a bank transfer.
