    Elon Musk, the world's richest man, suggests the new party would focus "on just 2 or 3 Senate seats and 8 to 10 House districts."

      No thanks, Nazi.

      Wonder how many losers who didn’t vote or voted 3rd party will split the vote for Elon, ensuring continued Republican destruction.

      Musk caused a lot of problems mainly while he was being self serving. He fired a lot of FAA leadership and mass laid off air traffic controllers. He wanted to steal a contract from Verizon for SpaceX. Aircraft incidents increased almost immediately. DOGE also led cuts at NOAA which NWS relies on. There was a surprise tornado in the midwest a couple of months ago and flash flood in Texas. These events claimed lives. I blame Musk. Musk is at least partially responsible for Trump gaining power whether he hacked vote tabulations or not.

      There could not be a worse bad actor to be involved in our politics. I like the idea of a centrist party but want Musk to not be involved at all.

          Well when the Republicans are far-right and the Democrats are right, a centrist party would be halfway in between them, so it does seem to be accurate.

            Nah, he’s just as far-right as the rest of the Nazis. He just disagrees on some points.

        It’s Musk, of course it won’t work. But he might be able to grift money from it.

      He is 100% not going to do anything. Oh he may say he will but they will never field a single candidate and support Republicans to the hilt. This is at best a way for him to grift

      “Time for a new political party that actually cares about the people,” he said.

      Yes, because Musk is the first person that comes to mind whenever “actually cares about the people” is mentioned. 🤮

        On the other hand, there’s a certain authenticity that comes from knowing he came up with the slogan himself (because there’s no way that any AI – even grok – would generate something so tepid and transparent).
