Some of the world's richest people are suddenly putting big money behind Donald Trump's presidential run. Elon Musk, known for his space ventures, has chipped in a massive $75 million to a pro-Trump super PAC he created. Not far behind is Casina heir Miriam Adelson, who has contributed $95 million. And there's Richard Uihlein, a packaging tycoon from the Midwest, who has added $49 million to the pot. Their goal? To sway crucial swing states like Pennsylvania.

But the Democrats aren't sitting pretty either. Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris has raised an astounding $1 billion since July. However, she'll need even more to keep up with the billionaire support for Trump. In the race for Congress, Democrats have a larger funding advantage in key Senate and House races. Wealthy Republicans are scrambling to reduce this gap.

It's important to note that money doesn't always decide elections. Voter turnout and issues that matter to people also play a big role. Critical thinking encourages us to look beyond just the money and consider what candidates stand for and how they plan to make a difference.
