The stakes of third-party politics reportedly found the world’s richest man reconsidering with a close eye on a specific potential successor to President Donald Trump.
While corporate media salivates over division, supporters of both Elon Musk and the president were hardly thrilled at spats between the figures after successfully securing control of the federal government from the Democrats and commencing with exposing waste, fraud, and abuse.
For those getting Ross and Rachel vibes over the split, the potential for another reconciliation appeared in reach as a report from the Wall Street Journal indicates the billionaire is averse to taking actions that “would damage his relationship with the vice president.”
Not exactly staying together for the kids, the newspaper detailed, “The billionaire Elon Musk is quietly pumping the brakes on his plans to start a political party, according to people with knowledge of his plans.”
“As he has considered launching a party, the Tesla chief executive officer has been focused in part on maintaining ties with Vice President JD Vance, who is widely seen as a potential heir to the MAGA political movement,” the report indicated. “Musk has stayed in touch with Vance in recent weeks, and he has acknowledged to associates that if he goes ahead with forming a political party, he would damage his relationship with the vice president, the people said.”
With eyes already on the 2026 midterms, even as redistricting efforts have the potential of expanding the GOP advantage, the possibility of a third-party disruption has fueled concerns that the left could neuter the final quarter of Trump’s White House tenure. So, the report was welcomed with excitement as reactions expressed, “YES! Elon coming back into MAGA would be absolutely amazing.”

Earlier this month, Vance sat down with The Gateway Pundit’s founder and editor, Jim Hoft, where he joked that Musk may not take his call and addressed the impact that the entrepreneur had on the 2024 election after expressing his hope to see a united front heading into November 2026.
“My argument to Elon is like, you’re not gonna be on the left, right? Even if you wanted to be — and he doesn’t — they’re not gonna have you back. That ship has sailed,” said the vice president. “And so, I really think it’s a mistake for him to try to break from the president. So, my hope is that by the time of the midterms, he’s kinda come back into the fold.”
According to the Journal’s report, consideration is underway about Musk “using some of his vast financial resources to back Vance if he decides to run for president in 2028,” while some close to the billionaire indicated that he has yet to entirely rule out the creation of a new party though little action had taken place toward funding such an endeavor.
Meanwhile, as the tech titan’s rift with Trump was viewed as an opportunity to gain footing, Libertarian National Committee Chair Steven Nekhaila said amid efforts to see Musk side with them, “It doesn’t seem like anything has been in action, neither at the state level nor at the ground level.”
“It’s almost an eerie silence,” said Nekhaila.
