Elon says he’s created one.

Thoughts?

I'm more concerned of the risk of a one party state.

A third party of nothing but web bros. I can’t even begin to imagine what the platform will look like, but if Terry Crewes isn’t busy maybe he can get a seat on the Extreme Court.

The only 'advantage' (and I use that term loosely) with Elon backing a party is they would, theoretically, have financial ability to compete with the established parties for campaign ads and what not.

Money power vs political power.
Perot found which wins the hard way.
Musk will too.

Loss of contracts, loss of subsidies, loss of visa (does he have citizenship -
I need to look that up).
There are a lot of barriers the man in charge can put in place
