Americans perception of a Democrat or Liberal is our right of centre. They have never had a left wing administration.
Musk hasn't got a snowflakes chance in hell of forming a 'centrist' govt. unless he generates a Tsunami of populism (and he is toxic to many - 99% of the more 'Liberal' electorate?) and those god fearing Christians must look at his drug use with total contempt. There won't be sufficient numbers of existing politicians willing to cross over - if any, bar a few whacko's. Without which, he couldn't even form what we call a shadow cabinet. This smacks of Reform - might just take votes away but won't ever form a govt.
It comes over as Musk thinking he is all powerful but the truth is, he is living in an autistic, blind bubble.
