After reading about this organization here: Citizens United (organization) – Wikipedia, and Citizens United v. FEC – Wikipedia sounds like it was FEC and Supreme Court. Big donors like Soros effected the elections in the last four years! So don’t blame Musk and Trump. Most people are against big money donors, but it’s going to have to require more than going after Citizens United.
How can reformers address the consequences of Citizens United?
In the short term, a Supreme Court reversal or constitutional amendment to undo Citizens United is extremely unlikely, and regardless, it would leave many of the problems of big money in politics unsolved. But even without a full reversal of Citizens United in the near future, there are policy solutions to help combat the dominance of big money in politics and the lack of transparency in the U.S. campaign finance system… Fixing the U.S. elections system will also require fixing the FEC.
Long dysfunctional thanks to partisan gridlock, the FEC is out of touch with today’s election landscape and has failed to update campaign finance safeguards to reflect current challenges. For example, FEC rules do not even include the term “super PAC,” and it has declined to find violations or even open an investigation in high-profile allegations of coordination. The agency’s failure to enforce federal disclosure laws helped allow dark money to pour into U.S. federal elections since 2010.” Citizens United Explained | Brennan Center for Justice

Yep. A good solution. From your letter, the FEC has been non-operating in the shadows. The left is diverting the attention to something that won’t hurt them, like the FEC could.
