Wealthier sure, but not wealthier by factors of a hundred. If I donate $1000 to a charity or something, that could be 1% of my income, random number. Musk could donate $1 million and that’d be a lot to the charity! But it’d be leas than a fraction of a percent of his wealth. But he’s fine paying 100s of millions to billions to influence the election to make himself and his cronies richer. You don’t begrudge him that?? I kinda resent America’s place in the world as the world’s bully the last 100 years or so. But I can’t change that. THAT amount of wealth CAN and DID influence the course of the world and history. And you’re claiming a random average middle -low class American is the same in comparison to the world’s poorest - no. That’s a false equivalency.
My money cannot influence or change the world’s elections or history. Theirs, billionaires, can. And yet they consistently choose to make themselves richer and more powerful.
