  • Elon Musk wants to create a new political party.

  • He's fed up with excessive government spending and waste and graft.

  • And he's mad about the Epstein files.

  • And he did a poll and people were actually really into the idea.

  • But then he stopped mentioning it.

  • And he's just been tweeting about Grok and Europe's fertility rate.

  • And did you hear he unfollowed Pam Bondi?

  • President Trump thinks we're too simple, lol.

  • We have a tremendous success with the Republican Party.

  • The Democrats have lost their way, but it's always been a two-party system.

  • And I think starting a third party just adds to confusion.

  • It really seems to have been developed for two parties.

  • Third parties have never worked.

  • So he can have fun with it, but I think it's ridiculous.

  • But is Elon serious?

  • That's coming up on Today Explained.

  • Avoiding your unfinished home projects because you're not sure where to start?
