>>510239780 (OP)Musk is running for president. Since he can't do what Trump did and win the Republican nomination, he's taking a few of his $billions and starting his own party.
He could win. Ross Perot could have won if he hadn't disappeared for a couple months in the middle of the campaign. He was doing very well, but it seems he didn't want the job and only wanted to put Clinton in.
Therefore Elon is trying to tear down Republicans he might have to run against.
