When Tesla chief executive Elon Musk asked his followers on the social platform X last week whether it was time to create a new political party, 80 percent answered “yes.” Wall Street seems to disagree.

The documents filed with the Federal Election Commission — one of which Elon Musk has decried as false — could indicate a blurring of the Tesla finance chief’s professional boundaries.

Musk’s plan can only work if he learns from the most successful political disruptors, including Trump on the right and Bernie Sanders on the left, and identifies places where both political parties are neglecting the real preferences of voters.
