Opinion: Musk has huge wealth and influence, but historically, third parties in the United States have had difficulty succeeding

Planet Daily News: Musk has announced the establishment of the "American Party," a topic that briefly topped Baidu's hot search. However, analysts believe that even for someone like Musk, who possesses enormous wealth and influence, and has demonstrated undeniable mobilization capabilities with loyal, high-profile, and influential followers, the barriers to a "third party" remain deeply entrenched. Public reports show that historically, third parties in the United States have struggled to achieve political success. American businessman Ross Perot won nearly 19% of the popular vote in the 1992 election but failed to secure a single electoral vote. Ralph Nader was labeled a "spoiler" in the 2000 election. Recently, the "Forward Party" founded by Chinese-American entrepreneur and former presidential candidate Andrew Yang, while gaining attention, has struggled to gain traction.
