I don’t really think there is any sort of conspiracy to keep Elon’s party down, I think when his party fails it will mostly be because there is no target audience that isn’t already catered to by other parties, and who represent a sizable population. His party basically just sounds like the Republicans but more pro-H1B (at a time when most are increasingly sick of immigration) and vaguely more Libertarian, and I’m pretty sure that’s just the platform of the actual Libertarian party. And the kicker is that if he is trying to court Libertarians, they’re gonna get scared off because of Elon’s prior comments in support of gun control.
