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.
1996! I remember that thin weak looking man, but obviously many bitcoiners won't. Not only did he not carry a single state, he took needed votes away and gave an easy win to the Democrats. That's exactly what the new America party will do; assuming ~10–15% of Americans like Musk. Of those, perhaps 20–30% may have a negative view of Trump. That gives a ballpark estimate of six to fifteen million people in the U.S. who like Musk but dislike Trump. Not enough to win, but enough to spilt the vote. Looks like Musk wants to be a world hero now.
