Aside from left/right/independent traditional metrics, this could get erm, interesting... I'm not taking sides but the entrant of someone who can control a social media narrative possibly won't be giving Trump fluffy happy dreams.
Probably just kick him out to SA....

I can’t imagine institutions invested in Tesla are going to be happy.Aside from left/right/independent traditional metrics, this could get erm, interesting... I'm not taking sides but the entrant of someone who can control a social media narrative possibly won't be giving Trump fluffy happy dreams.

Assuming he could start a fully-fledged party, could U.S. politics work with a three party system? Putting aside that the voting population in the states is much more tribal than it typically is in Europe, would politics not be completely paralysed by having three parties? Would the parties be able to form coalition governments in order to gain overall control? If so, perhaps that's exactly what U.S. politics needs.
Musk has seemed fairly erratic for years now and this seems a continuation of that.
I doubt the new party will take off and I also think his business interests will likely suffer further, bearing in mind they have already been affected by his foray into politics.
Someone who is brilliant but may actually need some help, whether that be counselling or more.

Is this all a made up distraction?
i reckon musk does believe that the deficit is a problem and he thought that DT was serious about doing something about it. That was the whole point of what mush thought doge was doing. Tax cuts for the rich, tax hikes for the poor and reduction of the deficit. Musk got two out of three.
Launching a third party puts Musk at risk in terms of Trump attacking his company's.
I wonder if some of the other billionaires have the appetite to also stand with Musk.
If so that would potentially create a real third party in terms of available funds and perception of strength in numbers. If they could then get credible people for election it may alter the political landscape.
Just needs a few to have the balls as currently American politics is a joke as both parties are fundamentally the same.

Wonderful.
Government by billionaires, for billionaires.
I bet the muggles would lap it up.
But surely it can't be any worse, the current parties really dint put the people first.Government by billionaires, for billionaires.

Also the economy is a ticking time bomb that at some point will destroy their lifestyles as they know it.
Musks willingness to go against the grain with regard to debt control is forward thinking. It's a major issue that needs to be addressed but the current parties aren't doing anything about it.

It wouldn t win in an election, but a few candidates in key states with the backing of Musk and the power of social media might hurt either of the main parties in swing states?
Pretty much this. If musk wants revenge he can do a deal with the Democrats targeting a few key states and scupper the GOP by dividing their voters Heard a funny story last night about Musk that once again illustrates how borderline certifiable he is.
He was going around claiming to be a great video game player. Including Diablo IV, where on the Joe Rogan show he claimed to be among the top twenty players world wide. Also Path of Exile 2. In both games he had made extensive use of account enhancement services where someone who actually knows what they are doing was paid to level up the character for him.
Asmongold called him out on his twitch stream re Path of Exile 2 as someone who clearly did not know what they are doing while livestreaming, despite having a very high level character. He may have also commentated on Diablo IV but I think others took the lead.
Musk took away his blue tick mark on Twitter and then published private DM's without his permission. Later Musk had to publicly admit to using account boosting services on both games.
This is the head of a new political party to bring about a new beginning
