Acknowledging that the billionaire who did a Nazi salute at the inauguration isn’t a cool guy you want to be friends with seems like it should be the absolute minimum qualification for membership in the opposition party.

He doesn't need to build a movement. He can just buy some existing congressmen to switch from republican to his party. His stated goal is to become a "spoiler vote" to force concessions from Trump, nothing more.

That does not make one a genius. I push back every time I hear someone say Elon is a genius. The first thing I say is why. Why is he a genius? He invented tesla, no he didnt. He took daddy's money and bought someone elses work. SpaceX again, money. He doesn't supply the smarts for any of it, just $$
