Elon Musk publicly mused about creating a new political party this week, an idea that could escalate the billionaire’s feud with his onetime ally President Trump.

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.

    Remember when he was going to make a new iPhone when he was having panic attacks about apple banning twitter? This will be just like that. The guy jumps from thought to thought like the direction of the wind. He can’t follow through on anything himself, he just throws some money at it and pretends that he does the work. So many people could do so much more than him if they had his resources.

      What i was thinking, only way he ends up doing this is if someone else does it, it’s successful, and he buys the party, that’s the only thing he’s been good at, and basically what he tried with trump.
