        Except it isn’t stupid bullshit. They are giving the money to musk so that they can get something they want done. This also gives musk more power as he’s able to buy more people.

            “Anonymously” at an “auction” was the intended implication, I believe. Where in actuality someone is just paid a lot of money in a manner that is harder to trace, and has an air of plausible deniability.
