So the 2% party, if he tries really hard.
With few exceptions,[1] the U.S. system has two major parties which have won, on average, 98% of all state and federal seats.[2] According to Duverger's law two main political parties emerge in political systems with plurality voting in single-member districts. In this case, votes for minor parties can potentially be regarded splitting votes away from the most similar major party.[2][3]

- Which is enough to influence results (or atleast the public reception of results). I remember one year ago the endless debates about third parties in context of the US election and how those third parties might help Trump win.
- It probably won't even get that far
  
  I can imagine him and his friends use their wealth to research what voters want to hear and then them saying those things out load. Could easily be interesting for voters as long as they can continue saying didn't break a promise.
Elon Musk, the once illegal immigrant, wants to fight the guy that just gave ICE a blank check and inpunity to kidnap anyone they want....
🍿
- I expect Musk to have his own little army (both legal and literal), but yeah, it'll be definitely interesting to watch.
The man who bought Donald Trump's election campaign is now pretending to be against him. Who will vote for him? The only thing both parties' voters have in common with Elon is their aversion to him (I think).
Must be a slow month at SpaceX, because he clearly hasn't had enough of expensive shit blowing up in his face.
