Musk’s announcement appears to be an attempt to influence the political landscape and assert his own influence outside the traditional bounds. However, market reactions suggest skepticism: Tesla’s stock dropped by approximately 7% following the announcement, hinting that investors see little immediate benefit in Musk's political ambitions.

The idea of a third party, while appealing to some, remains an uphill battle given America’s historical aversion to third-party success.
