Elon Musk’s newly announced America Party has received an early endorsement from Andrew Yang, the tech entrepreneur and former Democratic presidential candidate who has himself championed efforts to break America’s entrenched two-party political system.

Yang, founder of the independent Forward Party, revealed in a July 7 interview with Politico that he has been “in touch” with Musk and his team to discuss the tech mogul’s fledgling third-party movement.
