PANews reported on August 29 that according to the New York Times, Musk has hired a Republican staffer who is good at organizing field work to help guide his political work. This move shows that Musk is preparing to get more involved in Republican political activities, especially those to win votes. According to three people familiar with the matter, Chris Young, a senior political official of the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers Association (PhRMA), will join Musk's team. Young was the head of Engage Texas, a Texas voter registration nonprofit funded by major Republican donors. He previously made his mark in Republican field organization work and became the national field director of the Republican National Committee during the 2016 cycle. Field organization has been the focus of Musk's work in recent involvement in campaign activities.
