Musk first floated the idea on Thursday. In between jabs at Mr. Trump, the billionaire posted a poll to X asking his 220 million followers if they think it's "time to create a new political party in America that actually represents the 80% in the middle."

A day later, Musk noted that 80% of respondents to the poll backed the idea.

"This is fate," he wrote Friday evening.

So the technology mastermind believes in "fate"! 🤣🤣🤣
What a clown. 🤡

I'm fine with Musk splitting the Republican/Conservative/Libertarian vote up further.

Yes! Do it Elon! Stand up to the establishment, split the Republican vote and finally end this MAGA insanity! I believe you're stupid enough to actually do that!

Figures the only way we’d ever get a third party would be at the hands of an oligarch.

Finally, a political party for rich, white men.

The American Nazi Party isn't new, though.
