Musk is an idiot of course, but he does (presumably) have the money to set this up, and parties can be taken over, can they not . . . ? ☭😉

Seriously tho, I think the Coke and Pepsi parties have a lock on the system, so I’m not sure any amount of $$ could break through it, but we can dream, can’t we?

    Fair question but I don’t think it’s the same thing, Bloomberg was trying to buy the public and instill himself in office in a competitive race.

    I think the strategy of just finding popular candidates and then becoming their biggest financial supporters should be more cost effective. If it’s a new party there might be great deals for the thrifty oligarch.
