   Many people on the left have bemoaned how reactionary billionaires funded the creation of the gigantic right-wing media machine that has poisoned millions of Americans' minds, supposing that there are no billionaires on the left.

   In fact, there were actually more billionaires backing Kamala Harris (83) than Donald Trump (52).

   There's plenty of Democratic money. It's just being wasted https://www.usatoday.com/story/graphics/2024/11/04/billionaires-backing-trump-harris-2024/75936100007/

     @mattsheffield There's a chart going around, even sorted by "billionaires" Musk's wealth is disproporitionate, so this "83 to 52" number is phony. How many billions of dollars do those 83 hold? How many billions of dollars do those 52 hold?
