For years, Americans have complained about the iron grip the two major parties have on the nation’s politics. They have sent a clear signal that they want more choices—perhaps a system more closely resembling European multi-party democracies. Now, an unlikely crusader against America’s two-party duopoly—billionaire Elon Musk—promises to take a step toward achieving this goal by launching a new “America Party”. It is difficult to know how seriously to take the mercurial Musk. Does he really want to get into the expensive and messy business of creating a new political party or is this just a gambit to provoke his former friend, President Donald Trump?
