As per his own quote, "The most entertaining outcome is the most likely".

If he really goes on with creating this party, this outcome shall be very entertaining one way or another, I will give him that.

> The “America Party,” he indicated, will not attempt to win every election but will instead target a select number of crucial races with highly concentrated efforts.

"Highly concentrated efforts" meaning "whatever makes Musk richer", of course.

If he were truly trying to challenge Trump, he would do what he said a few days ago and use his money to primary all Republicans currently in office.

Anything else is pure theatre.

He's going to end up in jail or deported at this rate. The current crop of politicians have no inhibitions to do what they please irrespective of laws.

But who is left that likes him?

Is this a republican split?

Goodness, it would be wild for Altman and Musk to come together to battle the two party establishment, even if just for show or the lulz.

Now I'm trying to decide which of the two I hate the least. I would guess I'd hate Musk's policies the least.
