Elon doesn't seem to understand politics. He seems to think the Presidency is like a CEO and can dictate what gets through congress. That's my take from his big, beautiful bill whining. Politics is that art of the possible, and what Elon wanted was not possible. That's the touch of the 'tism upon him.
Of all the business he has created only one, SpaceX, has caused a net growth the market. All of the rest have taken market share. Tesla took market from the traditional auto makers. It didn't lead to more cars on the road.
In politics, with a fixed number of seats in any legislative body you can only gain "market share" at the expense of others, you cannot create expand a market, or seats. So, given Elons drive for fiscal conservatism, who will this party steal seats & votes from?
If he is serious about change, he needs get involved in the GOP and primary those he wants to depose. But then he would have to work with other people and not be the head honcho, and he can't do that, because ego. That's the touch of the 'tism upon him.
If this party happens and gains traction say hello to AOC as your first woman president. And say hello to $20,000 NFA transfer taxes. If you think this party is a good idea and will lead to good 2A and good fiscal things, then based on the history of third parties you are, quite frankly, an idiot.
