Here's what it would take for Elon Musk to launch a third-party effort to represent what he called "the 80% in the middle."

Elon Musk announced that his "America Party" would prioritize investigating the Jeffrey Epstein case if it gains traction. This statement follows Musk's questioning of Donald Trump's reluctance to release the full Epstein files and a denial from the DOJ about the existence of an Epstein client list.

Musk's proposal for a third party comes after disagreements with President Trump over a tax and spending bill that was passed. Does the world's richest man have a chance of succeeding where others have failed?
