After falling out with US President Donald Trump, tech billionaire Elon Musk says he's launching a new political party.
Dubbed the 'America Party', Musk says it will aim to capture what he claims are the 80 percent of voters not satisfied with the left-wing Democrats or right-wing Republicans.
David Smith, an associate professor with the US Studies Centre at the University of Sydney, joins Emile Donovan to assess Musk's chances of breaking into the US's rigid two-party political structure.
