Idiots to ally, absolutely.
To feign interest for a little while, string along and squeeze some hard facts out of, I say go for it.
Elon has to believe that scorched earth is the only way to "save" his companies and he needs to be convinced it's worth doing.
Nothing he's done so far can't be walked back.
Now in terms of a third party challenger in the US, literally everyone is begging for a third party. Obama was Hope & Change. Trump was an Outsider. People are not happy with their choices in government. At the moment however you've still got to work within the party's we have, which sucks.
Also, to be clear, I think Obama was an excellent progressive step forward. I think Trump is a horrible conservative leap backwards. Biden v Trump was the only election in recent history where the majority said, "Oh shit, please put an adult in charge again", a message which disappeared and gave us Trump's second term.
