There are concerns that they paid for infrastructure in deeply democratic areas and ignored areas that were republican-leaning, in effect making it a Democratic get out the vote initiative.
The media doesn't seem too interested in figuring out the actual impact, so I don't think any of us really know if it was balanced or not. But this doesn't strike me as the type of thing we want billionaires doing regardless.

Is there any evidence at all this occurred? Why aren't Republicans attacking Musk donating 10's of millions of dollars to directly help Trump? I mean, we know why they aren't attacking him. Because they're complete hypocrites.
- archagon 2y agoWhere are you sourcing this from? Personally, I’ve only heard of the opposite happening. (For example, polling places getting shut down in some majority black areas in Georgia.)
