"I think it'll help us," Trump said about Elon Musk's "America Party." He added that "third parties have always been good for me."

"When it comes to bankrupting our country with waste & graft, we live in a one-party system, not a democracy," Musk said in the announcement.

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?
