Elon Musk said he is starting a new political party, which he dubbed the ‘America Party’ in a post on X Saturday.
Musk was born in South Africa but obtained his citizenship in 2002. He took an increasingly prominent role in politics through his partnership with Donald Trump during the 2024 U.S. presidential cycle, pumping money into the Republican’s campaign and utilizing his social media platform, X, to promote him.
However, Musk and Trump had a very public fall out after the tech mogul departed the federal government. While Musk has walked back some of his more outrageous allegations and attacks, he has persisted with the idea that the U.S. needs a new political party.
But mom says we have white supremacist party at home
Starting a new party isn’t going to help him save Tesla.
It might kill off the Democrats so then you will have two extreme right wing parties! What could go wrong?
Do you think centrists are really gonna leave the Democratic Party to join elon’s Pity Party?
i bet the color is gonna be white …
I’m betting on brown
The man that interfered with our last election is making a new party. So exciting.
Know what you’re getting into if you follow this dude.
They even have their own party salute!
With how much he loves the letter, I’m shocked he didn’t call it the X party.
I hear he loves history too, so maybe the History X party. I guess he should include the America part so people know which side he’s on.
The “American History X” party sounds about right for him.
oh no, he’s splitting the nazi vote
Let’s see
I’m sure he will have basically only far right policies but he will call himself and the party “centrist” so I wouldn’t be surprised if some low information Dems fell for it as well
Curious if fetterman will join
This man is a human taint. That said, I would gladly take his money if it would get me into an office where I could implement some real, lasting, democratic-socialist style change. Obviously that last part of the plan would be hidden from him. Commence your down voting.
Fuck downvoting. Double agent that fucker.
I’ve got a sign-up sheet going…
This is a great plan, patriotic even, and you should do it.
I can’t tell if you are being sarcastic.
I can’t tell if you are being sarcastic.
I mean fair to say but a real partnership would probably be to really just get someone to play his role while the real player moves through the democratic primary and wins.
Musks role really only is going to serve as a potential spoiler for the republican candidates… no left leaning person is even going to consider a party funded by musk.
Then I’ll take the hit
I’ve been talking about running essentially on the Republican party platform from the mid-1950s. It’s basically what Dems say they want.
I’ve had similar thoughts. I’ve even thought about pretending to be full maga just to get elected. Not sure if I could actually do it though.
It’s so much harder to fake being a Nazi than it is to fake being a tiny bit decent. I guess I’m just not as practiced at the Nazi thing as your average conservative is though.
Nobody strained any muscles thinking up that name
Honestly it’s surprising there’s isn’t an X in it. Maybe Elmo had hit a new stage in growth.
You mean ExAmerica Party?
Yeah but what did it take to convince him to use a generic name?
I’m not creative but, Pajama Party? The PP.
Just be glad he didn’t name it the All Your Base Party or some shit.
If he named it Lemon Party I might have laughed
Andrew Yang joins the party in 3…2…1…
Not the ‘America Fascist Party’? AFP = AFD.
Or the Fascist American Party.
Well, he is fapping to his own idea.
Yes, please split the Right.
We need a third party, but not one made/controlled by a billionaire. We need a new party by and for the common people.
super hypothetical, but if the far right splits, that could open the door for a center left party
Center left? Center left??? How about full blown leftist socialist, because nothing less will do.
Center left in american politics is definitley not what is needed. That’s like using a teenage mutant ninja turtle bandaid and thinking thats better for curing cancer than a normal bandaid.
we currently have a right party and a far right party, a center left party winning mayor elections would be like crazy good in the US
This might be the greatest analogy in the history of analogies. Top 10 at least.
We don’t need one right now. I doubt we could get one up and running in time with everyone onboard.
Hate to say it though… Musk has resources. Just saying.
