  1. Right. America is just not partying enough! Thanks Elon.

    No, wait…

  2. How does this guy think of his names? Tesla? X? America? Genius. 

  3. Please fracture the republican vote in the midterms please please please please 😭

  6. Well, hopefully it’ll separate the republicans into two different factions and then neither one of them will win again.

  7. He needs to go after the Rogan Republicans.

    Secular young men in blue and purple states, as well as urban Republicans in red states.

    I mean, if he wants to do this, that’s who he can get.

  9. Golly, Elon. Aren’t there any projects in South Africa that could benefit from your steady guidance?

    /s

  11. This will shave like 5% of democrats but possibly 50% of republicans.

    Go for it Leon! Do it!

  12. If it fucks over the Republicans and doesn’t harm the Democrats, I’m all for it.

  13. This is just what the circus needed: The worlds richest man starting a political party out of spite.

    The US is a true banana republic

  14. Really the only way to make a viable 3rd party is to create a platform that appeals wide group of people. So far he’s pitching a rightwing wet dream. Fumblin right out of the gate.

  15. Imagine spending millions on Trump to lose billions.
    He really has perspective

  16. As a history fan, it makes me laugh. Them inheriting the name The Know Nothing party is perfect.

  17. “Billionaires Business Class Party” corrected that for ya

  18. Suppose if Americans are dumb enough to vote for Trump, twice, we can’t rule out whatever the fuck this is

  19. As awful as Elon is, bifurcating the GOP is a pretty positive outcome.

  20. great distraction from your “I know the president is in the Epstien Files” from around a month ago…

    … for f*cks sake 

  21. The monkeys paw curls, we get a third party but it’s just another nut job extremist.

  22. If it takes away votes from the GOP, go for it, dude. I wanna see them tear themselves apart. Now we just need a new left party too and I’ll cackle as all the politicians go insane. (AOC and Zohran please help)

  24. I wonder if I could join it and use his money to unseat the GOP rep in my fairly safe red district.

  26. Most likely will just be a scam to further enrich himself and fuck over everyone else

  27. I saw a tiktok and the user made some interesting connections regarding the BBB that just passed.

    Basically they’re cutting funding for medical research (CDC, NIH ) and rural hospitals but simultaneously adding $25 billion to something called a *rural health transformation program* for “remote monitoring robotics,AI, and other advanced technologies”. How come the Republicans haven’t talked about how this bill would be “helping” rural communities?

    Coincidentally, Palantir (the military surveillance company) recently got a $443 million contract with the CDC (the same one they’re cutting by 50%). Meanwhile Neuralink just recently completed one of their first human brain implant trials at the University of Miami. Maybe it’s just a coincidence that FL governor Ron De Santis just weeks ago vetoed a bill that would allow families to sue drs for medical malpractice if it resulted in death. And maybe it’s just a coincidence that it’s less than 50 miles away from Alligator Alcatraz

    The theory is that you take away access to healthcare and scientific research funding **replace** it with a program that has very little regulation, and use the most vulnerable people as pawns for your own fucked up fascist fantasies

  29. That’s a very symbolic name, though I doubt Elon realizes it.

    Back in the 1850s there was a different party called the America Party.

    They were an anti catholic, anti Irish, anti German, nativist populist American nationalist party

    And a major part of the party ideology was to deny knowledge of anything they actually wanted to do. Hence they became known as the Know Nothings.

    This America Party wouldn’t last long, as they would merge with the remnants of the Whig Party and Free Soil Party under the name Republican.

    So yeah, definitely a symbolic choice as far as the GOP collapsing

  31. He’s literally doing it so he can try to show Trump he had a big chunk of votes, and then as soon as some deal is made he’ll tell them all to vote republican again.

    Literally what Farrage does.

  33. He is not going to do shit. Just another ketamine-induced rambling like the new Tesla roadster or robo taxis.

  34. Kick rocks, Elon. Anyone who thinks Musk is doing anything but watering down Democratic Party efforts to fight Trump are fooling themselves. At best, he’ll play both sides against each other.

    I will never trust a fascist oligarch, and Musk – with his Nazi-salute and destructive DOGE grift – has already proven he’s the enemy of the American people.

  36. Gotta love the American party started by a non-american.

  37. Techbro MAGA vs Rural MAGA will be an interesting twist in this incredibly dark chapter of history.

  38. A multi-party system is exactly what this country lacks. And to kick off a successful third party, it has to come from a well-known person with a large following to sustain representation, unlike the libertarian and green parties. Musk is the perfect inaugural candidate.

  39. Elon’s plane is going to have some sort of mechanical critical disaster on his way to South Africa when he’s denaturalised, and deported by his former conspirators. .

  40. Fascism always implodes in its own weight. Glad to see it happen sooner

  42. Yeah, well, I’m gonna go build my own political party. With blackjack and hookers!
