On July 8, according to foreign media reports, Musk is working to create a new party to disrupt the American political system, and he discussed this nascent effort with Andrew Yang, a Chinese-American entrepreneur and former Democratic presidential candidate.
Yang, who ran for US president in 2020 and is the founder of the independent party "Forward," stated in an interview that he has been "staying in touch" with Musk and his team. "I'm excited for anyone who wants to break free from the two-party (donkey and elephant) monopoly," Yang said, "I'm happy to help others understand what this path looks like." Yang did not answer follow-up questions about when they spoke or what else they discussed.
After failing to run for New York City mayor as a Democrat in 2021, he intensified his criticism of the US two-party system. The "Forward" party has been recognized in a few states, with the goal of gaining voting opportunities in all 50 states this year. (Jin Shi)
