I mean, put 280 million to work on the last one, he could kind of create the Joe Manchin moment.
And he could build a caucus, a platform, Grover Norquist kind of pledge along these lines.
So what do you think of that?
If he's not going to create a viable third party presidential candidate, could he Travis, pick off a couple of Senate seats, pick up a couple of congressional seats?
Okay.
And I was right about everything.
I'm in love with this role for Elon more than picking a party because he's picking a very specific platform that I think resonates with folks, which is just balance the budget.
Don't put us in so much debt and let's have some sustainable energy, you know, job done.
Great job.
No, I think he believes we're overspending.
Now, I admit that there is- Why didn't that happen with the big beautiful bill?
We've never had so many people say they feel politically homeless as we did the last two cycles.
And that includes many people on this podcast, people in our friend circle.
And I think just the idea that Elon could create a platform that people could opt into and support, just the existence of that
would make the other two parties get their act together.
And I think that's what we need is a little bit of a stick there and a carrot.
Hey, if you don't control spending, there's this third option.
And if Travis and I are in it, and Keith, I know you'll never leave the Republican Party, but Chamath, you're probably set where you want to be right now.
But I can tell you, we go through our top 10, 20 list.
Out of those, 50% will join Elon's party day one.
