Wow! Australia has introduced a new bill that caps the total amount billionaires like Elon Musk can spend on political parties to just $20,000. This legislation will completely ban billionaires from"buying" elections in the country. We need that here.

This is how democracy works

Elon Musk claims to have finished a 100,000-strong H100 cluster in four months. How likely is that?

Capping political donations like Australia’s proposed bill could be a game-changer for reducing the outsized influence of billionaires in elections. When billionaires can pour millions into campaigns, it tilts the playing field, making it harder for regular citizens' voices to compete with the weight of big money. Bringing something similar to the U.S. would be a massive undertaking, given the protections around political spending under the First Amendment. **Citizens United v. FEC** essentially classified money as free speech, making it legal for billionaires to fund super PACs and other entities without direct caps. Still, the idea of limiting billionaire influence resonates with many Americans who feel elections are increasingly shaped by the wealthiest few instead of the majority. Passing such legislation would require significant reform and a rethinking of campaign finance laws—but it’s a conversation worth having.

@Keir_Starmer @UKLabour It seems Australia got this Bill passed. Where’s our Bill? I look forward to seeing Labour introduce this Bill very, very soon to protect our country from foreign interference. If we don’t see it within the next MONTH you can forget any further votes.

Does that include soros?

We already have this in force in France. 7500€ per person per year.

We needed that in America, little to late now 😅

That is an absolute! Citizens United was the gas thrown on the corruption fire in the US. Needs to be reversed but good luck with the current supreme court that we have today.

What we need here is public funding of elections so that no one corporation or person can skew things their way. and we wouldn't have multi billion dollar election seasons

We’ve become a cautionary tale to the rest of the world

Definitely needed in the US but we have a corrupt Suoreme Court who thinks corporations and rich people should be able to buy elections. Citizens United was a horrible decision
