If it was anyone else putting it together, I think you'd be right, but Musk has a pretty large cult following, and an absurd amount of money to throw at this. If anyone is capable of drawing significant voters to a new party, it's him.

He wants to be the new Trump. I'm convinced he sees the adoration and unquestioned loyalty Trump gets from the MAGA crowd, and he wants that, too, but he can't run for president, so this is the best he can muster.
