Musk's American Party

[tpreitzel]

It's here. We'll see if it can accomplish its goal of steering the Uniparty. Frankly, its existence is way overdue as changing the GOP internally is questionable. I'm tired of politicians, even slick ones like Trump, making promises and then backtracking. I don't think I can forgive Trump for allowing Zelensky into the White House to mock Americans, nor can I forgive Trump for his failure on mass deportations (tens of millions) of foreign nationals or some pathetic excuse for exempting certain occupations from deportation. As a naturalized American, we'll see if Musk is willing and able to do better on these critical issues. Trump, stuff it.

Musk is the founding father of a new political party who isn't even qualified to run for president and his political party is supposed to decide who gets to be president in 2028?

I guess he is using the loophole of using a proxy to be the president so he can be kingmaker and have a president who has allegiance to him?

This could be the very first time someone tries to overthrow our government by hacking our election system.

Well if anyone can afford it, it's Musk.

If that's the PATHETIC platform, out with old master, in with the Technocratic new. Essentially there is no difference, because of the cost involved, and requires the same massive Surveillance/Police State and control over people.

The ideal and proper [cost-free/anti-police-state] solution, which respects the individual's right to determine his/her own life, would be to cut off incentives, and the ones already here can be left alone to either work, or go elsewhere to find it.

Milton Friedman: "Look, for example, at the obvious, immediate, practical example of illegal Mexican immigration. Now, that Mexican immigration, over the border, is a good thing. It’s a good thing for the illegal immigrants. It’s a good thing for the United States. It’s a good thing for the citizens of the country. But, it’s only good so long as it’s illegal."​

If DOGE couldn't force the Uniparty to steer in the right direction I highly doubt the creation of this new party will.

Depends on how much money Elon wants to spend.

While the South Africa-born executive is ineligible to run for office, any candidate he backed for national office would likely face immediate conflict-of-interest questions.

As his feud with Trump reignites, Musk's business with the government is back in the crosshairs

Tesla remains Musk’s best-known business, but its fortunes are less directly tied to the government than SpaceX, his rocket-building company.

People still haven't learned: They [Trump] hate him ---------> right across the finish line.

Technocratic Take-Over. Why would the richest man alive, born in South Africa, be concerned about U.S. politics?

See Post #7.

Nothing like making the Democrat victories even more automatic.

Derp.

Musk is a snake, and his party is "Centrist", which means socialism lite and Tech bro fascism.

The good part is that he will draw never Trumper RINOs out of the GOP but mostly moderates out of the Dems.
The Republicans will be more MAGA, RINOs will lose primaries, and the Democrats will break up.

Damn. You were off to a very good start. But then you went and wrote those stupid second and third sentences. You still can't break even lol

If you really think Musk's party is going to hurt Democrats more than Republicans, you failed Political Science 101.
You say Musk is a snake, then claim his move will hurt Democrats more than Republicans.
Nope. All it does it make Democrat margins easier to reach. Musk wants those anti-carbon subsidies and tax breaks back.
Every dime he spends will be returned when the Democrats bring them back. He is the one playing 5D Chess.

Go around asking how many conservatives follow Musk and see his party as a potential alternative.
It's a heck of a lot more than Democrats who would ever consider backing this party.

GOP is finished. They will be garnishing 30-35% soon. Less than 20 states. It's over. Democrats are smart, and they know exactly
where they made mistakes and how to correct them. Cakewalk.

A third party could replace the dead democrat party.

We have winner takes all elections though so if Teddy Roosevelt couldn't do a third party run it's mathematically impossible.

Since essentially a third party has to beat the two other partys in order to have any power in our divided government.

So all you can really ever hope to do is suck the power out of one of the partys in power which doesnt make you win anything.

It just makes the other party win. This is what Ross Perot did. Thats why Bush lost his reelection in '92.

Whats not impossible though is for a political party to die and get replaced and become one of the two major partys.

Trump essentially did this with the Republican party. He gave a speech after the 2012 election and called it the post mortem. Then he created MAGA.

Thats what makes him such a revolutionary president. He not only defeated the Republican party but he defeated the democrat party.

He was a political outsider and not a mainstream politician. He beat the Bushs and the Clintons.

That being said Elon Musk probably just does this kind of stuff to advertise his cars and other stuff he sells. Its viral advertising in the age of modern media.

I think we're going to see one term and out until we get an economic collapse from all the debt. The debt is already strangling the economy, look at how unaffordable the cost of living is already. And for all of you who think the debt doesn't matter, it already does, it just that it's going to get a lot worse.

The economy will be booming like never before soon. Probably even within this year.

Trump's trade war is netting the USA some major concessions from foreign governments. We are gaining access to markets we have never had access too.

The media of course is trying to brainwash people into thinking its worse than it is.

The dollar has never been this attractive against other currencys and that makes them more able to afford to buy American.
