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.
What a loser. But please, by all means. Fracture Trump’s base.
“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.
Yes, please steal 5-6% of the R vote.
It’ll rope in a lot of dem centrists too.

The Nazi party isn’t new, dipshit.
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.
Remember when he was going to make a new iPhone when he was having panic attacks about apple banning twitter? This will be just like that. The guy jumps from thought to thought like the direction of the wind. He can’t follow through on anything himself, he just throws some money at it and pretends that he does the work. So many people could do so much more than him if they had his resources.
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.
i hope he succeeds in creating a third party because it will break the 2 party system and opens the idea to vote for another option to americans.
And i hope the party then gets taken over by people in favor of unions and stuff
I thought you had to be liked by someone to start your own party. Does anyone even likes Elon Musk? The liberals hate him, the conservatives hate him, MAGA hates him, centrists hate him. Is he gonna fill his party with bots like he did Twitter?
I mean, he keeps insinuating that he did something nefarious with voting machines.
So he actually might.
I mean even if he admits it what’s gonna happen realistically?
Musk has quite a “tech bro” following (which we don’t see because we don’t live and breathe on Twitter and such), and that group wields enormous psychological influence over the population.
Seems unlikely, but If Musk aligns himself with Peter Theil, Zuckerberg, critical software devs and such more closely, that’s an extremely dangerous platform for Trump. They can sap power from MAGA (and anyone else) with the flip of a switch.
There’s quite a fundamental incompatibility between tech oligarchs and the red meat MAGA base, too, as is already being exposed. It’s going to get much more stark over the next few years.
This is awesome. Will hopefully wedge drive the Right with the biggest spoiler of all time making Jill Stein, Jojo, or Nader look like slivers by comparison.
The party logo will be an ancient far eastern peace symbol.
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.
Excellent idea. You do that, Elon.
“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
