Elon Musk said he is starting a new political party, which he dubbed the ‘America Party’ in a post on X Saturday.
Musk was born in South Africa but obtained his citizenship in 2002. He took an increasingly prominent role in politics through his partnership with Donald Trump during the 2024 U.S. presidential cycle, pumping money into the Republican’s campaign and utilizing his social media platform, X, to promote him.
However, Musk and Trump had a very public fall out after the tech mogul departed the federal government. While Musk has walked back some of his more outrageous allegations and attacks, he has persisted with the idea that the U.S. needs a new political party.
We need a third party, but not one made/controlled by a billionaire. We need a new party by and for the common people.
super hypothetical, but if the far right splits, that could open the door for a center left party
Center left in american politics is definitley not what is needed. That’s like using a teenage mutant ninja turtle bandaid and thinking thats better for curing cancer than a normal bandaid.
we currently have a right party and a far right party, a center left party winning mayor elections would be like crazy good in the US
This might be the greatest analogy in the history of analogies. Top 10 at least.
Center left? Center left??? How about full blown leftist socialist, because nothing less will do.
We need a better voting system that can support more than two parties, first
We don’t need one right now. I doubt we could get one up and running in time with everyone onboard.
Hate to say it though… Musk has resources. Just saying.
