Will Musk be able to start a 3rd party and win seats or is it a waste of money?

Musk should focus on his buisness and stay out of politics.

In any case, if he were to run, he'd need to do more to distinugish himself from Trump beyond just opposing that horrible bill (the one thing he's done that I commend him for.) He's also a proven racist, and his ideas of cutting government have already been hugely impactful. I can see him picking up a few disaffected Trump voters but that will just end up splitting the Republican ticket. To be successful, Musk's party would need to pick up the centrist voters, and most centrists are not happy about the DOGE cuts or his neo-Apartheid social policies.

I’m a big fan of third and other parties. I think a pragmatic and moderate third party would be attractive to many voters.

However, you couldn’t even pay me to shit on Elon musk.

But he interesting to see if he can shake things up.

A third party owned by Musk?

Bad!!

Musk won't try to start a new political party. For one reason; unless you're a Republican, you've already demonstrated that you hate him so there's no incentive for you to join what would be his newly formed political party. This leaves him with disaffected Republicans, which wouldn't be sufficient to do anything at all.

It's a numbers game and Musk isn't stupid. Unlike all you Democrats who cannot see the writing on the wall.

As for his criticism of he BBB, it's his Right and I commend him for exercising it..

Wow, Musk gets a pass for criticizing the rich man's bill. Even some praise for exercising criticism. Must be nice to be Musk and get HisArphy's praise.

I'd think others might be allowed the same latitude by arphy, amirite?

And yet Trump never does anything right? Even when he stops a war?

You believe in fairy tales, also? What war has stopped? A few days of ceasefire and you believe he stopped a war? LMAO

I'm still waiting for the war between Ukrainians and Russians to stop, like he promised. How about you? Are you a little irked that he didn't come through on that one?

This is all you need to know. Musk's Party is not going anywhere.
