Elon Musk is just the latest billionaire to exert tremendous influence over U.S. politics. When he says he supports Neo-Nazis, take him at his word.

Kind of is, yeah. As folks never tire of pointing out, the American electoral system only permits two major parties. As a basic principle, they're occupying one of those slots, so it is their job to stop the other party. If they lack the juice to do it, then they should step aside and let somebody else have a crack at it. It's part of the bargain that if they want to hold onto the power, they've gotta take some blame.
