Victor Davis Hanson: Musk’s Third Party Could Hand Victory to the Left

Victor Davis Hanson lays it bare: if Elon Musk forms a third party, it won’t be to “save democracy”—it’ll be to sabotage Trump and fracture the right, just in time for 2028.

What was once a powerful alliance between two outsiders—Trump and Musk—is now teetering on the edge, with egos colliding and enemies of the republic cheering. Hanson mourns the fallout: while Trump bleeds from endless lawfare, Elon risks playing spoiler for reasons no one can fully understand. And in the wreckage, only one side benefits—the same institutional Left that destroyed free speech, corrupted the DOJ, and weaponized media narratives.

Hanson isn't just speculating—he's exposing. The left cries foul as Trump retaliates, but every move he makes was first normalized by them: fake dossiers, show trials, weaponized subpoenas, political censorship, psy-ops disguised as journalism. They built the machine—and now they’re furious it’s running against them.

And as Trump hits back, Hanson calls it for what it is: divine reckoning. Trump is not an aberration. He is the echo of every lie, every abuse, every double standard. He is their consequence.

This isn’t about two billionaires clashing. It’s about the future of the country—and whether the Right can unite before the Left finishes what it started.
