Politics: Influence of Wealth in Political Campaigns

Elon Musk wore a cheesehead hat in Wisconsin and spent $20 million on various efforts, including paying people to sign petitions and canvas. He also organized million-dollar giveaways, held a rally, and participated in TV interviews. Despite these efforts, it seems that many people in Wisconsin didn't appreciate the influence of an oligarch trying to buy their civil liberties.

It's interesting how spending millions doesn't automatically translate to influence these days. The recent "cheesehead" stunt seems to have generated more memes than actual votes. It feels like people are growing weary of billionaires trying to act relatable and expecting praise for it. Eventually, this approach stops being convincing and starts to seem like an extravagant midlife crisis.
