It might actually be healthy for American two party politics to have some competition, or at least something to break apart the republicans

If it splinters the GOP, I'd be all for it.
I guess except for the fact that he would absolutely cheat and get away with it.

Agreed, except for the part where it's funded by Musk.

This. Backing a party started by someone from a Nazi family and who never apologized for his "Roman Salute"? No fucking thank you.

Wow, most polls with Republicans poll at like 25 or 30 percent. With that in mind, 40 percent is a big number.

Yeah, this is the only way I'd support a derpy 3rd party springing up. Hopefully it's just the right wingers trying to out grotesque each other and splitting the vote while at least somewhat normal people in the democrats reap the benefits.

Doesn't really matter who would start it, saying you'd back a party before it even exists and there's some sort of party platform is dumb.

I get people wanting some kind of alternative to the two parties we have now, but I wouldn't trust a party started by Musk. We're not going to get a viable third party anyway until we change the way our voting system works.

I don't really get excited about the ideas of 3rd parties. You still need 60 voted in the Senate to do anything unless you remove the filibuster.

So if you're not going to remove the filibuster and you can't get the 60 voted, you'll still need to work with the other parties to get a voting bloc.

Or the 3rd party needs 51 votes to remove the filibuster

New grift just dropped!

Guarantee you they'll "accidentally" end up with a massive pile of money traced to Russia. Jill Stein will be their first national candidate and Brianna Wu will be a consultant. Somehow they'll "accidentally" only cause Democrats to lose elections to Republicans.

Seems to be mainly "independents":
Some 23 percent of Republican men said they are "very likely" and 34 percent say "somewhat likely" to back the America Party, and over half (57 percent) expressed openness to Musk as a political brand.Nearly half (47 percent) of independent men said they were likely to support the America Party.Quantus noted that skepticism remains high among older and Democratic voters but the signal is clear: a large slice of the electorate is open to something new, something disruptive.

He is going to siphon moderates everywhere, be it Democratic, Republican, or independent.

People should not underestimate him. I would argue that the majority of people are moderate fiscally, and a mix of conservative and progressive on certain social policies

We know he'll be pro technology (especially electric cars) and pro business. He'll likely continue to be anti trans and have a traditional stance on some things such as marriage and kids.

I think most people will forget about it. I don't think he's going to target white supremacists...

Well, it seems that there is significant amount of rightwingers that want a rightwing party that isn't as batshit insane as GOP.
