Original link: Elon Musk says he is launching new political party / BBC.
Interesting in the gossip sense.
I don't believe it will have any political impact. Despite what many people think then there are already more than two parties in the US. Including libertarian party and green party. A billionaire trying to start a party is not new either - Ross Perot and reform party.
So despite Musk's talents then I don't think it will take off.
