Elon Musk publicly mused about creating a new political party this week, an idea that could escalate the billionaire’s feud with his onetime ally President Trump.
Musk first floated the idea on Thursday. In between jabs at Mr. Trump, the billionaire posted a poll to X asking his 220 million followers if they think it’s “time to create a new political party in America that actually represents the 80% in the middle.”
A day later, Musk noted that 80% of respondents to the poll backed the idea.
Thing is, he’s absolutely right. It’s way beyond past time to create a powerful political third party in the US that genuinely represents the interest of the people.
Elon Musk, however, should not be allowed anywhere within brick throwing distance of it.
Nor should most anyone else who is actually capable of funding it. Herein lies our actual problem.
The real problem is with the way elections work. Any third party started in this system that’s successful will wind up being absorbed by or absorbing one of the other two.
That’s not actually a problem, though. It’s better when both parties support your issue; then there is no viable opposition to that issue.
Split the Republican party!
Fuck no. While I very much want more parties, a party created by and for oligarchs would suck the donkiest of elephant balls.
Do it you coward.
“What if we made a party that represented everyone?”
Holy shit, I don’t think anyone’s thought of that. Jamie, check the web to see if people ever tried creating a party for the rest of us.
Chat, type 1 if you think having a party that represents 80% of America is a good idea.
That’s the joke. Every party says they represent most people, but end up in the pocket of the wealthy and corporate interests of it gets big enough
“I’ll make my owl political party! With blackjack and hookers!”
Yeah, you do that buddy, spend lots of money, too. Every single vote he draws will come from HitlerPig, not the Dems.
Anyone remember Ross Perot? He created the Tea Party, which eventually took over the Republican party.
Let’s hope this causes more Perot-esque vote spoilers on the right wing.
Call it American Party X and we have a deal.
‘I’ll make my own party with blackjack and hookers’
Reminds me of Ye and his public stunts.
Yes, please steal 5-6% of the R vote.
It’ll rope in a lot of dem centrists too.
Just call them Republicans.

The Nazi party isn’t new, dipshit.
“the 80% of people in the middle” that do Nazi salutes and say Germany should forget the national shame of the Holocaust, while flying to Germany to campaign for and praise the modern day Nazi party…
How very centrist 😅
Tbh I’m a little surprised he didn’t say it was 88%
All while being so k-holed out your pee-hole don’t work no more… 😋 Aaaand attempting to lure anyone with a working uterus and a twitter account into his weird natal cult…
Clearly just very normal activities that every American engages in on a daily basis.
I like how you have to specify that it’s a natal cult because he broke his dick and is effectively infertile through natural means. Also a natal cult is much more pathetic than a sex cult, at least someone is having fun in the sex cult.
