$15k to move to a different state (especially given job prospects are not great in places where that can go far) are not so great.
Inversely that could pay for a couple of months of a staffer on the ground going around and trying to convince locals to change their vote. That feels like it could go a bit further than the 1 vote the $15k buys.

And if a group of Mega Billionaires expecting a positive ROI believed they could lock up an election by convincing ~77,747 sympathetic voters to move, how much more money do you imagine they'd be willing to deploy? A better exercise would be to look at this map [0] and figure out how many people need to be moved to traditional swing states to assure a win for either side.
