Wisconsin Democratic Party Chair Ben Wikler has accused Elon Musk of felony vote buying and he has called for the billionaire's arrest if he comes to the state.
If I were a republican voter (I’m not), and the richest man in the world was buying votes for my preferred party, that would be a huge red flag because it’s very obvious that my own interests are not well aligned with the richest man in the world.

I keep waiting for this day of realization (that doesn’t come):
If you were a republican voter or even on the fence, it means you would not be thinking about it like that using logic.
I hear what you’re saying, but I think my point is that it doesn’t require “logic” it’s just basic threat aversion.
Perhaps the missing link is that people don’t realise that Musk’s interests are not aligned with their own.
Indeed. Poor people here think they are millionaires - just not yet.
