He also says he spent a fraction of Musk's money in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race and his side won, and that his Senate effort focused on Kansas, South Carolina and Mississippi and "won all three."

If you were responsible for Elon Musk losing half a billion dollars. Ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha! I do take some joy in that. Cause he also went into Wisconsin two years earlier and tried to take that Supreme Court race. And I was on the other side of that and I gave, I don't know, one tenth of what he gave or some one twentieth of what he gave. On the other side it was a substantial amount but he was doing a lot more. And we won that race. And so I felt like in Texas, I only put, what did he put in $220 million into Texas? I put in a million too. And we were - Better ROI, better ROI every year. Yes, I like it. Invest with me, right? So, but we were trying to expand the field. And so on the Senate side, we focused on Kansas, South Carolina and Mississippi. We won all three of those.
