Andrew Yang: My third party would be 'a natural home' for Elon Musk

Business magnate Elon Musk and Andrew Yang, the former candidate for both the U.S. presidency and New York City mayoral race, have some similarities.

Both are entrepreneurs, both have bold visions for the future, and recently another commonality has emerged: Both men are done with the Democratic Party.

Yang left the Democrats to start the Forward Party, currently a political action committee that offers an alternative to the Democratic and Republican parties. The 49-year-old businessman-turned-politician is now inviting Musk to join him.

In a recent interview with Yahoo Finance Editor-in-Chief Andy Serwer, Yang praised the tycoon’s entrepreneurship, which he said made Musk a natural fit for the nascent Forward Party.

Sure let's enable Trump or DeSantis.

Musk is a malignant narcisist who would never join "yang's party".

If he were going to join a 3rd party, he'd build one.

Why post such a positive article about him? He is a nobody who is best left in the bilge to waste away.

if he had won his recent political races.

Guess it never occurred to him that maybe as a political unknown he should've started off running for a state representative or for Congress instead of FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, THE HIGHEST OFFICE IN THE LAND, THE LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD, then MAYOR OF NYC, two very high-profile positions...then poke your lip out and get mad when you lose and start another party.

But go ahead, do the Jill Stein thing and maybe Putin will invite you to a dinner party with others like yourself and Stein and traitor general Michael Flynn so that you can help get a republican in the WH again..

Granted, it's a pretty dumb case to begin with, but "The political party for elon musk" makes me want to stay even further away from that inevitable dumpster fire.

I was never impressed with Yang and was surprised that he was in the debates
