      Yup. At best, this is an attempt at spoiling republican votes to piss off Donald in the midterms. At worst, it’s an attempt to consolidate power by ensuring all of the followers are united.

      This is the wildest take I’ve seen so far.

      It would split the vote amongst the least same, and consolidate the vote for Dems.

      What’s the upside for Musk here?

      The chances that a real Elon party signifigantly stealing votes from the Republicans to the point it causes an actual vote split is basically nil. The voter base is stupid, but not so stupid to hand a brand new party anything out of the gate.

      Now, controlled opposition, is a foundation of the farce that is Russian democracy, and both DT and Elon are staunch admirers of Putin’s system where its a mob masquerading as a government with total control
