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.

    Horseshit. No way is Elon’s popularity that high, after he so effectively alienated himself from both US parties. I’m guessing the poll just asked about supporting A third party, not Elon’s third party.

      Asking people a theoretical question about whether they would support a third party doesn’t give you any useful information. It doesn’t mean they’ll support whatever you make, nor does it mean you (in this case Musk) have what it takes to build a party from scratch. Including just basic human qualities required, ike patience and perseverance.

      This whole story isn’t even worth following.

      Both parties suck and are ruining the country. Here’s an idea, let’s take the jackass that jumped around with a chainsaw and sawed away people’s benefits before giving two Seig Heils at the worse of the two horrible parties, let’s go with his new party.

      What a joke.

      It’s not his popularity.

      1. Republicans dont really like Trump, they just want to “own the libs”, so a new “conservative” party appeals to them.
      2. Democrats won’t vote for the new party, but realize that it will destroy the Republican party.
