32. do not underestimate his ability to create a more inclusive and better-run party...

Existing party infrastructure is steeped in precincts, committees, Roberts Rules, time-consuming meetings, paperwork, notarization, fees, clubs, donations, etc.

Newcomers, rather than being invited & welcomed, are perceived as work mules at best, or a threat to existing power structures at worst...

With his funds and technology, Elon could create a party oriented around 80/20 issues and a mobile app for participation. Let party participants vote on the top 5 issues for the platform (allowing for bad ideas to be filtered out), streamline registration, get rid of Roberts Rules bullies..

DNC should be eyeing this and prepare accordingly. It's not just a threat to the RNC.
