After faltering in his plan to found a new ‘America Party’, the world’s richest person is returning to the GOP fold
In the aftermath of his spectacular falling out with Donald Trump last year, Elon Musk blasted the Republican Party as a corrupt force that was “bankrupting” the United States of America.
But now, after months in the political wilderness, the volatile tech baron has indicated that he will once again devote his enormous fortune to electing GOP politicians, this time ahead of the midterm elections in 2026.
“America is toast if the radical left wins,” declared Musk on X Thursday. “They will open the floodgates to illegal immigration and fraud. Won’t be America anymore.”
What he means is, he’s toast.
Right. And his billionaire friends who don’t want to get “canceled” for doing whatever they want
I don’t even think that’s the case. He needs the GOP to help him own the world. Without it, he will just be an unfathomably rich person.
This is it. He knows the Dems might tax him a tiny bit more (an amount he won’t even notice), and he could possibly not win as many no-bid government contracts under them, but he’ll still be incredibly rich and completely above the law. The difference is, with the GOP in charge, he gets to dictate terms.
