Andrew Yang has reached out to Elon Musk with a sales pitch: Let’s build a third party together.

The former 2020 Democratic presidential candidate has been pushing his independent Forward Party for several years — and he sprang into action after Musk’s feud with President Donald Trump erupted and Musk polled X users on whether they wanted a new political party.

In an interview with POLITICO Magazine, Yang said he hasn’t heard back from Musk yet, but he’s optimistic. Yang also acknowledged he doesn’t agree with Musk about everything, but said that his Forward Party should appeal to those across the political spectrum. And don’t forget that Musk had endorsed Yang’s previous presidential bid.

Enormous hurdles exist to breaking through in America’s two-party system. But Yang argued the American public is ready for a change, particularly if the effort gets help from the richest man in the world — who also happens to control a massive social media platform.

8. Hey, the American NAZIS already have an established party---

maybe you can co-opt that----


Musk might be fine with their already established ideology,
but I would hope to presume that Yang would not. Oh well---

Hey, just call it the new "American" party--
although the guy with all the money is pretty close to NAZI--
he IS a WHITE SOUTH AFRICAN, after all...

10. Not this guy again.

They always argue against putting all your nuts in one basket.
