Elon Musk announced the creation of the 'America Party' after fighting with President Donald Trump over government spending. Experts say it will be tough to achieve success

Musk has been able to play off Tesla's struggles for over a year now because the stock has been astonishingly resilient. Neither political gaffe nor falling deliveries has knocked Tesla off its upward trajectory, but Monday's selloff may be a sign of a changing sentiment.

Musk’s plan can only work if he learns from the most successful political disruptors, including Donald Trump on the right and Bernie Sanders on the left.
