WHITE: The Trump coalition is beginning to fracture, and in a lot of ways, there is historical precedent for this. Trump and Grover Cleveland have a lot in common besides serving non-contiguous terms as president.

While Musk was able to pour millions of dollars into pro-Trump super PACs last year, he would not legally be able to bankroll a political party. Third parties generally have to spend a great deal of money to secure ballot access before focusing on getting their candidates elected.

What if the third-party movement was being spearheaded by one of the most politically toxic people in America? Is Elon Musk the best face for this?
