It would have been very illegal and would have put Musk in Jail to put 260 million dollars into electing Trump before the Citizens United Case.

Then came the Trust busters in government that caused a lot of larger companies who were monopolies to break up. I think we are headed in this direction pretty soon again. For example,  Bell Telephone was forced to break down into many BABY Bells which is one of many companies forced to break down through anti-Trust laws.
