There’s that quote from “Charlie Wilson’s War” that’s timeless. It’s before Rep. Charles Wilson (D-TX), socialite Joanne Herring, and CIA agent Gust Avrakotos are about to head to the Afghan-Pakistani border to drum up support to fund the Mujahideen. Wilson, played by Tom Hanks, leaves to catch some sleep, overjoyed that he beat a cocaine probe helmed by Rudolph Giuliani. The late Philip Seymour Hoffman, playing Avrakotos, tells socialite Joanne Herring, Julia Roberts’ character, “It's just been my experience that when people with money and too much free time get involved in politics, pretty soon, I forget who it is I'm supposed to be shooting at.” No, I’m not suggesting violence, but the money and too much time part fits Elon Musk’s “America Party” scheme to a tee.

Elon can’t be serious. First, he has no idea how much time and money are required to make this a viable political entity. He cannot run his companies and do this, whatever it is, at the same time. Second, it’s not a centrist party if the most vocal people are anti-Trump Republicans and Democrats. Third, we don’t need this—all it will do is help........
