    That’s politics, this shouldn’t be a surprise. None of this is remotely illegal as suggested in the comments.

      Having your position on issues for sale isn’t illegal when you’re not in office, but it’s certainly not normal politics. It’s fuckin’ the weird for a politician to openly admit they’re for sale.

        So you mean to say that most politicians won’t change their positions based on their voting blocks demands?

        I hate Musk but I can’t see how any of this isnt standard fare in all of politics by definition.

          Changing policies based on what voters as a whole want is democracy. Changing based on what one voter with a lot of money demands is corruption.
