ANDREW YANG: I think that the Forward Party is a natural home for Elon because he's a builder, an entrepreneur. He wants to solve really important problems. He's not an ideological guy. And I think what's happened is that he's picked up on the fact that, really, both parties have become ideological and he's, as you're suggesting, looking for a home the same way that millions of other Americans are.

ANDY SERWER: Any conversations with him yet about it?

ANDREW YANG: I'm excited to sit down with Elon and have those conversations. We're going to have a series of announcements upcoming in the summer, so stay tuned.
