I think the opportunity is better this time around.

Democrats and Republicans secured a two party system and locked everyone else out because of a few things:

1. Finances and resources.
2. Media coverage. During debates, they had secret handshake deals to only argue against each other, which forces media to only cover them.

Musk got resources. He spent a lot to get Orange Man in power. And TV and news is already lower on the trust scale, as the population leans towards social media.

There's a few other issues like local/state elections that won't be friendly to non-Democrat/non-republican parties.

Of course, this is all a pipe dream and like the libertarian party, it'll quickly get thrown aside and the politicians will fold into one of the two parties.

Do you think there’s any chance that Musk can break whatever is formally boxing out other parties? It seems like just by being who he is right now in history, he could break things.

We need to hope he breaks the current norm in a way that doesn’t put him in power, and opens things up for proper multi-party elections in the future. That’s a lot to hope for though, I guess.

When I think about this, I can imagine Musk fans telling tales of his 4D chess moves and how his plan all along has been to overhaul and improve elections. Or some other bullshit.
