Elon Musk, Andrew Yang Discuss Plans for New America Party

Elon Musk is moving forward with plans to launch the 'America Party,' a third political party aimed at challenging the dominance of the Democratic and Republican parties, and has held talks with former presidential candidate and Forward Party founder Andrew Yang about the effort. Yang expressed support for any initiative that could disrupt the current two-party 'duopoly,' and offered to share his experience building an independent party, though he has not committed to joining Musk's movement. Musk, who was previously a major donor to Donald Trump and briefly served as a White House advisor, became disillusioned with the Trump administration and is now focusing on his new party. However, skepticism remains regarding the viability of third parties in U.S. politics, as former President Trump and political analysts point out that such movements have historically failed to elect a president and often serve only to split votes. Polls indicate Musk is viewed unfavorably by a majority of Americans, raising questions about the potential impact of his party despite his substantial financial resources. The collaboration between Musk and Yang highlights growing interest in alternatives to the current two-party system, though significant challenges remain.
