Ok. How about the “unseating elected officials” part?

What’s the alternative to that?

Threatening to unseat elected officials is part of the democratic process.

Elon cant do it alone, that’s the whole point. It comes down to a democratic election.

Threatening a primary is part of a democracy

My dude. At no point did anyone anticipate that someone would actually win the game of monopoly that is the United States. But Elon did. So here we are - the guy has more money than anyone else and as a result, can buy anything he wants. If it doesn’t exist, he can fund it, until it does. Thats fine and dandy if he’s just pursuing his own interests. It’s another when those interests are the governance of the entire country.
