About 40% of voters said they are likely to support a new political party proposed by Elon Musk, according to fresh polling from Quantus Insights.

According to a new poll, 57% of male Republicans say they are likely to support Elon Musk’s “America Party”

Almost half of voters said they are likely to support a new political party proposed by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, according to fresh polling.

A Quantus Insights survey released Wednesday found that 40% of voters said they would be likely to back Musk’s “America Party,” which aims to serve voters disillusioned with both Republicans and Democrats. Musk shared the poll’s results on X, calling the results “Encouraging.”

Musk first pitched a new political party in early June after he clashed with Donald Trump over the GOP’s multi-trillion-dollar tax and spending bill.

    If Musk launched a party with large enough base support of clueless morons to destabilize both Rep and Dem parties, that would create space for the creation of a liberal/left party,

    Actually, a new party that successfully pulls from both parties would most likely be centrist at best.

      It doesn’t matter if Musk’s party is centrist or far right. The point is, if it pulled enough support to destabilize 2 party elections, that opens up space for more parties to legitimately enter the political arena. It could cause a domino effect that would open space for the rise of a true left party.

        Centrists as in centrists. People who are center-right aren’t going to join a party that intends to go far left.
