Vance called Musk's establishment of a new party a huge mistake!
The U.S. Vice President believes that Elon Musk's attempt to establish a third party is a huge mistake, because he cannot occupy a middle position between the Republican and Democratic parties.
"I think Musk continuing to try to establish a third party is a huge mistake. My argument is, whether or not you like him, he has been seen as a right-wing supporter by the extreme left. Elon can return to some kind of political middle ground, but the idea that Democrats and Republicans like his ideas is not feasible."
Vance believes that Musk could have influenced the Republican Party to advance his own ideas: "If he doesn't like what the Republicans are doing, my advice is for Elon to try to correct the Republicans and push them in the right direction. You can disagree with me or any opinion of the President, but don't pretend that you can have a significant impact on the third-party situation. I think if Elon remains loyal to the Republican Party of the President and expresses his views from within rather than from one side when differences arise, he can have a greater influence."
The U.S. Vice President also denied a report in the Wall Street Journal that claimed Musk was considering supporting Vance in case he becomes a presidential candidate in 2028: "I read the article, and I can say it's completely a lie. I have never talked to Musk or any other donor about 2028."
