Elon Musk declared on X the formation of a new political party amid his ongoing feud with President Donald Trump over the “Big Beautiful Bill.”
“Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom,” Musk wrote in an X post on Saturday.
The Tesla CEO had said Friday on his social media platform that one way the new party could work is to focus on winning just a handful of Senate seats and House districts that could serve as the “deciding vote” on “contentious laws,” given the “razor-thin legislative margins” in Congress.
In response, Trump said on his Truth Social platform on Sunday that Musk had gone “completely off the rails.”
Please split the right-wing vote. Please
It will almost certainly pull some votes from Trump but whether that’s enough to make a difference or not will depend on if the DNC can get out of the way long enough to find a candidate anybody actually wants to vote for or if they’ll run another “we’ll change nothing and you’ll like it” candidate.
Newsom is already prepping for that role.
Newsom has a solid chance to get primaries, fact of the matter is he is the worst California has to offer and is only so useful as a potential martyr should the feds kill him. Or maybe I’m just a Inland Imperial who would happily feed folks to the waters over at greenspot.
lol
“We’ll change nothing you’ll like” - Democratic candidate
“Well fuck you, I want facism 😡😡😡” - Progressives
