If he frees up the purse strings, I'd think he would find the right people, in the right districts to run against the establishment on their fiscal irresponsibility.
Just a moment...

Musk sought to drum up support for his potential third party launch, positing that his new party would target a handful of vulnerable swing seats to leverage political power.
“Given the razor-thin legislative margins, that would be enough to serve as the deciding vote on contentious laws, ensuring that they serve the true will of the people,” he wrote.

My guess is he's going to have to do a POC (proof-of-concept) on a select few in mid-terms 2026. If successful enough, then go into 2028. Otherwise, it'll just fade away.

While Musk may have the millions to pour into backing certain candidates — which he has already promised to do, pledging to support Rep. Thomas Massie’s (R-Ky.) reelection campaign amid targeting from Trump — establishing a third party involves a series of thorny obstacles including navigating complex state laws, ballot access regulations and other legal hoops.

Really no idea how it'll all turn out. But if he's serious, I'm happy someone is giving it a shot.
