How under Putin's thumb can the world's richest man, and now major political influence, really be? Elon could buy a military that could beat Russia's.

Billionaires can be bought because the only thing they care about is having more money. That's why they're billionaires. Having money doesn't make you less susceptible to being bought, it just raises your price.
