i think Musk saw behind the curtain and realized just how cheaply politicians are being bought up for. I think he did some napkin math and realized he could outbid the current masters of enough of them to gain more power than trying to appease trump.

My first thought is that this may be for 1) political leverage and 2) propaganda. Leverage as a spoiler, to pressure/influence the other two parties in the election cycle. Propaganda is pretty self-explanatory, I think: getting into the news & podcaster cycles, throwing events, sending out mailers/flyers etc.
Some people (rich & poor) and interest groups/super PACs may fund it, so it won’t even have to be all his own money.
Let's hope that this is the much needed being of the Nazi implosion and not a refining point for them
