The whole world has been eating Trump and Musk's big melons these two days.
The two such good friends were once inseparable from each other and even took a plane to eat hamburgers, but now they have become enemies and scolded each other.
Musk called Trump ungrateful, and Trump called Musk a lunatic.
Trump is a high-ranking official and Musk's little arm can't twist his thighs. What should I do?
Musk thought: Can I be president?
In the United States, presidential candidates usually come from Republicans or democracy.

Being president in the United States is either Republican or Democratic. Musk is a man with a brain. He doesn’t want to make a choice, he wants to create a party by himself!
So he conducted a poll and posted a post on Twitter saying, "I want to set up a new party. What do you think?"
So Americans also like to eat melons and expressed their approval, and 80% expressed their support, which was a very high proportion.
Of course, Musk has fans all over the world, and many foreign people come to join in the fun.
The Russians also joined in the fun and said, "Musk, if they are persecuted by the United States in the future, they are welcome to immigrate to Russia."
The Russians are really brainstorming and can taste different flavors of melon.
The survey results made Musk very satisfied. He said: "Look, 80% of them are centrists in the United States, and your Republican and Democratic Party only represents a small group. Now 80% support me, these two numbers are magical, right?"
Musk means that he is destined to be the destiny. He wants to establish a new political party. Netizens also gave suggestions, simply called the "American Party". The Democratic Party cannot represent the United States, and the Republican Party cannot represent the United States. Only the American Party can represent the United States.
If Musk really set up a political party and really comes out to run for president in the next election, he has money and his own propaganda agency Twitter, can he become president?
Can his party win?
This is possible in some countries, such as Argentina and the Philippines.
But it can't be done in the United States, why?

First, because the US electoral system cannot win if there are too many votes. For example, in 2016, Hillary Clinton had three million more votes than Trump, but he lost.
Because the US election system is a winner-takes-all, and each state has a fixed electoral vote.
If a party wins a state, such as California, then all the electoral votes in California belong to this person. It means that if you have one more vote than your opponent, your opponent will have zero, and you will have everything.
This has led to the fact that the bipartisan dispute has dominated over the past years, and the third party has a low vote rate, but it may affect the election situation somewhere.
For example, in the 1992 US election, a rich man named Perro came out to run for president. He sucked away some votes and changed the contrast between the two sides.
The two sides were equally divided, but the third party stole a little vote, such as snatching some votes from the Democratic Party, and the Republican Party had the advantage.
So, the third party plays such a small role.
Musk wanted to set up a political party to defeat the Republican and Democratic Party in a "winner-takes-all" state.
Second, the Republican and the Democratic Party represent one idea in the United States.
Voters may vote here today and there tomorrow, with many swing voters in the middle. They are not fixed, they just depend on the policy to their advantage.
It is actually a very loose structure. Such a loose structure does not require the third party to come out.
But in recent years, the Democratic and Republican parties have fallen into polarization, leaving a large number of middle-aged voters at a loss because both sides are becoming more and more extreme.
So Musk said, "As the American Party, I represent the American tiger masses."
The idea of this is good, and it is not difficult to do.

But when it comes to the election, can you save enough votes? This is almost a fantasy. This cannot be done with money.
But he can suck some votes from the Republican Party, and maybe in the end if the next election can change the situation, it will play such a role.
