    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.

    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.

    “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).

    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

    I just want to see him actually keep his word and keep Republicans who voted for the big bill from getting reelected.

    “It is obvious with the insane spending of this bill, which increases the debt ceiling by a record FIVE TRILLION DOLLARS that we live in a one-party country – the PORKY PIG PARTY!!” Musk said Monday.

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

    This shit is hilarious. So he didn’t like the bill because it didn’t make enough cuts? Or is it that it provided too much money for ICE? Either way, he will have plenty of new party members. Stupid people eat this shit up.

      He’s just trying to apease the frustrated to get a voter base… But the real plan here is to dilute the democratic voter base even further cementing the republicants to stay in power.

      If those party comes in 2nd, he’ll just conceed and give his votes to the Republican candidate.

      If they win, then hell just cozy up to Republicans anyway.

      Remember RFK Jr when he ran as independent.

      This is THE PLAN

        Damn, I had not considered that. I should have known that this was yet another ploy to keep fascism in power. I mean, after the Nazi salute, I should have kept that in mind when examining why he does what he does.

        i dont think hes drawing any dem supporters, rfk jr AND jill russian stein mostly drew republican voters, or people that “are undecided” i was following rfk jrs voter campaigns and he mostly got the people that usually dont vote, or the undecided and some republicans.

        Aren’t most US elections FPTP? If so, during the election he’ll split the right vote which boosts Democratic/other candidate’s chances. If they get a few senators elected with Democrats getting fewer than a majority, then for sure the plan would work as you described it.
