For the average American, 0.01% of their net worth is $106.
For the median American, it's $19.

A lot of us spend more than 0.01% of our net worth on candidates in critical elections.

The difference is that Musk has 940,115 times the net worth of the average American and
5,184,033 times the net worth of the median American.

"Musk Plans to Spend at Least $100 Million to Help Republicans in the Midterms."
https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/30/us/politics/elon-musk-midterms-republicans.html

PS: Assume Musk's net worth is 1 trillion. $100 million is 0.01% of 1 trillion.

The net worth of the average American is $1,063,700, and the net worth of the median American $192,900. (These numbers are from the Federal Reserve's 2022 Survey of Consumer Finances.)

This article is a great deep dive into some of the shady characters behind World Liberty Financial — Justin Sun among them, despite his recent efforts to distance himself from the project. (He likely hoped this interview would help, and it is a little friendly, but rightly points out his shadiness.)
