Elon Musk’s lobbyists spent tens of thousands of dollars on things like gifts and meals for Texas elected officials this year.
But, in most cases, state transparency laws do not require them to disclose which elected officials they wine and dine.

@ProPublica@newsie.social Is there a more corrupt state government than Texas, slightly ahead of Florida?

It's amazing how cheaply some people will sell themselves.

@ProPublica@newsie.social I hope the democratic president in2029 pulls a Trump and revokes Musk's citizenship and passport, confiscate his companies and assets, and expels him back to where he came.

@ProPublica@newsie.social Texas should just sell the legislature to Musk and let him run it and decide the laws of the state and the budget of the government. He could sell its services to big money donors and corporations. I'm sure his decisive management won't blow up like SpaceX rockets.
