Therein also lies a fundamental dilemma for any 3rd party that is to be led by Musk. How does Musk distinguish his party's agenda from the GOP's? Eg: if the GOP loses voters owing to Medicare cuts, those voters aren't likely to flock to a billionaire who has called social security a "Ponzi scheme"

The 3rd party vote in congressional elections peaked in 2016, but then dropped in the the next 3 cycles. Libertarians were in a strong position in 2024 to capitalize on GOP's MAGA shift, but instead appeared to self-destruct from internal conflict, including an attempted takeover by a MAGA faction
