Unlikely it will succeed but love to see Musk fund a viable third party and build momentum on this.

Totally agree. 10% of loonies on either side and the 80% are not accommodated for.
The Musk hatred on this forum is bizarre. Any other country would be so grateful for a guy bringing so much wealth to a country via his businesses and trying to fight tooth and nail to stop the U.S. going bankrupt. Political brain washing has stopped intelligent people from seeing the world as it is. Especially those who spend so much time with like minded people who continue to reinforce each other's opinions.
Probably a good few decades before we see this play out. The only way out for the U.S. is enormous GDP growth led by AI and robots perhaps. Wonder who could help with that lol? That could happen, although my gut instinct is whatever the country makes, they will always spend more. That only ends one way.
