  • Elon Musk floats strategy

    From JAB@21:1/5 to All on Fri Jul 4 12:40:35 2025
    Elon Musk floats strategy for new political party

    The bottom line: Musk didn't identify any specific races, so for now
    this is just a trial balloon.

    Elon Musk says he is launching new political party
    ...
    The billionaire announced on his social media platform X that he had
    set up the America Party, billing it as a challenge to the Republican
    and Democratic two-party system.

    However, it is unclear if the party has been formally registered with
    US election authorities. Musk, who was born outside of the US and is
    thus ineligible to run for the US presidency, does not say who will
    lead it.

    they had to go with "america party" over the more natural sounding
    "american party" because the american party already existed and they
    ran george wallace for president in 1968

    Well I've been loudly calling for new parties for a long time here, but
    this is not what I had in mind. Elon Musk is 10 pounds of shit in a 5
    pound bag and his party is probably stillborn.

    How bout he call it the MechaHitler party? Grok is the perfect AI for
    that numbnuts. It's incoherent, racist, and loudly stupid. Perfect.
