Did you forget about when the DNC got taken to court for bias in the primary and their legal defense was:
They won the court case, because it's true
Our system is fucked, and I have trouble believing people who pretend it's not.
Instead of buying twitter, musk could have donated that money to the DNC over a couple of years and gotten his cronies into leadership positions because all the DNC cares about is donations.
