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 happened to creating a new party? Fucking clown.
There isn’t an already functioning and somewhat successful political party to buy and then claim he invented politics.
Probably way too much work for this asshole. I’m not sure fElon really has the capability for that kind of deep focus and probably doesn’t even have the capability to delegate that kind of thing to responsible people, either.
Given the history of third parties in this country in general, though…it’s probably much harder than it looks. Virtually all of them come off as completely unserious and/or compromised (like the Green Party).
