• Elon Musk said he would be forming a new political party on July 5.
• One month later, he hasn't taken the formal steps to do so.
• He's also remained a major GOP donor, even amid his feud with Trump.

Over a month later, he hasn't taken any of the formal steps necessary to do so, and he hasn't publicly mentioned the idea in weeks. That's despite praise from Mark Cuban and a warning from the head of the Democratic Party that Musk's effort should be "taken seriously."

Maybe he was threatened. He did tweet after this that "he had gone too far" a kind of apology. But, yeah, he has disappeared hasn't he?

5. Because he is a ... something something unmentionable.

And the drug addled brain perhaps forgot all about it already.

6. Thinking that Tesla board might have curbed him

I am vaguely remembering that his employers insisted that he pay attention to business
