I'd rather someone rich who wants political change focus on getting ranked choice voting in battleground states. As someone who would like to vote for a third party but generally leans toward one of the two major parties I can't justify most likely throwing my vote away. I'd be happy to put a third party candidate as my first choice in ranked choice voting since I know it wouldn't be a wasted vote.

> if his goal is to help create a more moderate government?
Is it? I can't find any idea of what his platform would be anyhow. Put AI in charge of everything maybe?
Granted I guess with the GOP platform doesn't matter, states rights, less debt, any sense of libertarianism, being some magical 'leader of the free world' just about every GOP traditional platform item is out the window.
I think in any other case a new party with some nobody's might have a chance with an electorate looking for answers, but Elon is not nobody and carries baggage. Can you win elections consistently as "Elon's party"?

Since nothing about Musk is "moderate", I'm guess the Musk Party would be exceedingly unlikely to be moderate either.
