Party with drugs people... This isn't about politics.
But arent drugs fun?
They are but there's always people who ruin that fun and this guy seems like one of those x1000.
Great now South Americans and Central Americans can be included, right?
But mom says we have white supremacist party at home
Starting a new party isn't going to help him save Tesla.
It might kill off the Democrats so then you will have two extreme right wing parties! What could go wrong?
Do you think centrists are really gonna leave the Democratic Party to join elon's Pity Party?
In this timeline? Fuck, I'd be surprised if they won't do it while puplicly kissing his balls.
They even have their own party salute!
i bet the color is gonna be white ..
I'm betting on brown
Know what you're getting into if you follow this dude.
So he's taking half the Trump's voters?
Isn't this, like, good?
The man that interfered with our last election is making a new party. So exciting.
With how much he loves the letter, I'm shocked he didn't call it the X party.
I hear he loves history too, so maybe the History X party. I guess he should include the America part so people know which side he's on.
The "American History X" party sounds about right for him.
The XXX Party, I think that'll appeal to the younger voters
Xae party
oh no, he's splitting the nazi vote
Let’s see
I’m sure he will have basically only far right policies but he will call himself and the party “centrist” so I wouldn’t be surprised if some low information Dems fell for it as well
Curious if fetterman will join
This man is a human taint. That said, I would gladly take his money if it would get me into an office where I could implement some real, lasting, democratic-socialist style change. Obviously that last part of the plan would be hidden from him. Commence your down voting.
Fuck downvoting. Double agent that fucker.
I’ve got a sign-up sheet going…

Nobody strained any muscles thinking up that name
Honestly it's surprising there's isn't an X in it. Maybe Elmo had hit a new stage in growth.
You mean ExAmerica Party?

Yes, please split the Right.
"America Party" - brought to you by Ketamine (TM)
Not the 'America Fascist Party'? AFP = AFD.
Andrew Yang joins the party in 3..2..1..
split the right? go Musk! 😂🤮
"I want a fan club!"
The twat is sad he's not in the news as much anymore.
Borrowing from the Brits when I say: Fuck off, ya wanker!
If you can't build a sufficiently-large coalition of voters internal to one of the Big Two parties, how is starting from scratch rather than doing internal realignments going to be any easier?
The US electoral system will stabilize around two large, big-tent parties. If you start a new party, then you will need to convince enough people to join that party, which will kill off at least one existing Big Two party. The requirement to build the coalition of voters doesn't go away. It's just that now you've got extra tasks to deal with.
Trump didn't get his position by cleverly manipulating internal party mechanisms in the GOP. He got it by going out and selling voters on Trump. Someone else can do that too.
It has been estimated that there was a total of 5.5 Billion dollars spent in the last Presidential Election. Elon Musk is estimated to be worth over $400 billion. He can literally buy Congress.
5.5 billion? Is that all?
