Did you see what ELon did in the early days of Trump's presidency when their relationship was still close? Elon looks like a president when he can freely enter and exit the White House, attend important meetings with Trump. Or even brought his youngest son into the Oval Office to play in front of the president's desk. This shows Elon does not need to be the official president to run the US. If his new party can take over the White House, he will have full control.
"Looks" from "being" is totally different thing. You can't start a party as the head of it, and stand out to put another in your place if you win. If Elon wants to be President of the US, he needs first to change the Constitution. And he can't. So, as I said, this is pure nothing.
Elon Musk's political party will flourish because the last elections proved that American elections can be influenced with money.
We didn't expect the last elections to prove this. It's well known that in every country of the world that they vote, money wins the elections.
I also believe so, Musk's party will grow very strong because he not only has money but also has great influence in the United States as the richest man in the world.
This isn't the first time that some wealthy guy wants to create a party different from the two known ones and crack the political monopoly. The last case was Ross Perot, back in the 1996 elections. The result? One of
the strongest presidential showings by a third party or independent candidate in U.S. history, but he didn't manage to carry a single state. So, being among Republicans and Democrats and expecting to win and break the two-party system with your money, it isn't as easy as many might think.
