Notably absent: any detail of what the party's platform is other than "we're not the other guys."

>reduce debt, responsible spending only

>modernize military with ai/robotics

>pro tech, accelerate to win in ai

>less regulation across board but especially in energy

>free speech

>pro natalist

>centrist policies everywhere else

Obviously that last catch all bullet is where things get complicated.

I don't have an X account, so all I can see is the tweet asking if those are the policy positions. Is there more context I'm missing?

The same "free speech" he uses for Twitter/X I presume. Which means "free speech for me but not for you".

I remember when H. Ross Perot joined the Reform Party, ran against Clinton, and stole votes from the Republicans. In modern times, no third-party candidate has been elected President.

A party lead by a billionaire doing Nazi saluts? Hard pass! Elon has lost all political credibility, but doesn‘t seem to have noticed, yet.
