Elon Musk publicly mused about creating a new political party this week, an idea that could escalate the billionaire’s feud with his onetime ally President Trump.
Musk first floated the idea on Thursday. In between jabs at Mr. Trump, the billionaire posted a poll to X asking his 220 million followers if they think it’s “time to create a new political party in America that actually represents the 80% in the middle.”
A day later, Musk noted that 80% of respondents to the poll backed the idea.
Excellent idea. You do that, Elon.
Thing is, he’s absolutely right. It’s way beyond past time to create a powerful political third party in the US that genuinely represents the interest of the people.
Elon Musk, however, should not be allowed anywhere within brick throwing distance of it.
Nor should most anyone else who is actually capable of funding it. Herein lies our actual problem.
The real problem is with the way elections work. Any third party started in this system that’s successful will wind up being absorbed by or absorbing one of the other two.
That’s not actually a problem, though. It’s better when both parties support your issue; then there is no viable opposition to that issue.
Split the Republican party!
Yes, please steal 5-6% of the R vote.
It’ll rope in a lot of dem centrists too.
Just call them Republicans.
What a loser. But please, by all means. Fracture Trump’s base.
Until he will be persecuted and will hide in Russia, which will drive Donald to help Ukraine in the end.
I really reallu hooe I will be right.
I don’t think he’s going to run to Russia. The moment he does, he all of his US companies will be seized. So if he wants to go, he’s going to need to find a way to very quickly liquidate everything without the federal government noticing. But you can be sure that the spy agencies are watching him. He’s already too powerful for comfort, and it’s their job to spy on people like him.
What he really needs to do is kill Donald Trump and install JDVance as a puppet of the tech oligarchy.
But you can be sure that the spy agencies are watching him. He’s already too powerful for comfort, and it’s their job to spy on people like him.
And do what? It was very clear that if Trump got elected he’d take a wrecking ball to the country that we will probably never recover from, at the behest of a hostile foreign leader he’s been openly conspiring with for decades. What exactly did they did to stop him?
Now that he’s rooted through through every government database, and stolen everything, he knows too much If he tries to run to China or Russia, his plane will probably mysteriously crash.
They can nationalize half of his companies without a big effort. Musk he’s been acting like a jerk for years now, if they want to ditch him is a matter of nothing. He’s a drogatic, he stole US citizens data, he’s been playing with stocks for years.
The issue with that oa that they would then lose the support of the bourgeoisie and so could get coup-ed.
Sure, they could, and probably should. But evidence suggests they won’t. So what’s the point of them spying on him? They’ll collect a bunch of information and do nothing about it.
US agencies might not have much reason, but foreign ones on the other hand definitely do have plenty of reasons.
I guess at that level everybody is spying each other constantly anyway. It doesn’t mean you want to use your info, but it’s sometimes an insurance on your on life.
Musk got away with much, but he runs companies in Us which can compete globally, and any US president has to be on his side.
Recently he turned out as a bad (really bad), individual, but for the Magas was of course still ok. Funnily enough, he got his own medicine. A racist South African who got used and dumped cause he has no roots in US.
Musk is not even the worse there, he’s too stupid. What I fear the most is Thiel, he’s a motherfucker for real.
If anywhere else he’ll go to China.
China does not like problems, they want to look calm, affordable and keep aelling their stuff.
I don’t really see why they should care about a loser like Musk.
I don’t think they’d give him asylum from the goodness of their heart but this man has a lot to offer as long as he’s an enemy of the US government.
Plus the whole illegal access to US institution systems Krasnov gave him.
At the same time, let AOC and Sanders make a fourth party, also splintering the Democratic Party.
Fuck no. While I very much want more parties, a party created by and for oligarchs would suck the donkiest of elephant balls.
“the 80% of people in the middle” that do Nazi salutes and say Germany should forget the national shame of the Holocaust, while flying to Germany to campaign for and praise the modern day Nazi party…
How very centrist 😅
All while being so k-holed out your pee-hole don’t work no more… 😋 Aaaand attempting to lure anyone with a working uterus and a twitter account into his weird natal cult…
Clearly just very normal activities that every American engages in on a daily basis.
I like how you have to specify that it’s a natal cult because he broke his dick and is effectively infertile through natural means. Also a natal cult is much more pathetic than a sex cult, at least someone is having fun in the sex cult.
Tbh I’m a little surprised he didn’t say it was 88%
Anyone remember Ross Perot? He created the Tea Party, which eventually took over the Republican party.
Let’s hope this causes more Perot-esque vote spoilers on the right wing.
The Nazi party isn’t new, dipshit.
Andrew Yang rn
Yeah, you do that buddy, spend lots of money, too. Every single vote he draws will come from HitlerPig, not the Dems.
So then the US will have three right wing parties. Choose your flavor:
- Corporate Neoliberal Party
- American Nazi Party
- White Apartheid Apologists
I love how this was the thrust of the Russian meddling campaign, using #bothsides to build voter apathy.
I’m not saying you’re a Russian meddler, but I know the source of that duck quacking noise I was hearing.
“What if we made a party that represented everyone?”
Holy shit, I don’t think anyone’s thought of that. Jamie, check the web to see if people ever tried creating a party for the rest of us.
Chat, type 1 if you think having a party that represents 80% of America is a good idea.
That’s the joke. Every party says they represent most people, but end up in the pocket of the wealthy and corporate interests of it gets big enough
Do it you coward.
I’m all for it because it will split Trump’s vote, but there’s really no point as there won’t be free elections for anything more serious than dog catcher in the US until the fash have been forcibly evicted.
The democratic options expired Jan 20th 2025. Resist.
