Elon Musk's behavior, including his reported substance use and political actions, sets a harmful example for young men.

“I think if somebody is making Nazi salutes, when someone is so severely addicted to drugs, they can't get their together to show up to the White House without looking exceptionally high. I don't think that's the right role model for young men.”

Elon Musk's political controversies do not diminish his significant past and future achievements.

“It's fair that he has those criticisms, but it doesn't distract or take away from the achievements the man has made so far and will make.”

Elon Musk is already a political actor and could exert significant influence and leverage by controlling even a small percentage of the electorate through a new party.

“If this guy even gets 15%. He doesn't need to be 51%. If he gets 15%, if he gets 18%, if he gets 20%. He is the biggest throne.”

A third party led by Elon Musk is unlikely to succeed because historical third-party efforts have failed to secure electoral votes and there is no viable infrastructure.

“I don't think Elon is going to do this third party thing. I think if you just take him literally, he don't want to be in politics.”
