He was onto something when he tried to reform/influence existing political parties. This is foolish imo.
As Massie says in this interview, the two parties are so engrained that they each have special chambers in congress. If you belong to some third party, you're at a significant disadvantage, and politics is a game of millions of inches.

Good points. However, I don't think his success case for DOGE was reform.
I'm not so into conspiracy land that I think all this is some orchestrated dance, but even when he was running DOGE, they were barely scratching the surface. I don't believe the guy who can run all the various things Elon is running actually thought DOGE was going to achieve meaningful reform. There's got to be something else going on.
As to the two parties...if the Bull Moise guys couldn't get a third party going, what hope have we?
