He can’t buy MAGA support if he thought he could.

I hope he and Trump can fix things and I hope he abandons his third party idea. I fear that it will do little other than fracture the GOP and split the vote, allowing the Democrats a free walk in the park. That would be a disaster...

The best thing to the “all American” party is President Trump as a Republican. Unfortunately and ironically some things are not as MAGA as we voted for. Nevertheless Musk will not fill that void. Third parties are pathetic in reality behind the catchy rhetoric.

The Swamp burns through at least a few trillion (declared on the books) a year, has the only collection agency which can use deadly force if needed to fund it , and self governs its accounting practices and credit limit.

The wealth of all of the world's billionaires and millionaires isn't enough to fund the government for a fraction of a fiscal year.

Elon endorsed Trump after what happened in Butler PA he helped with certain things but Trump was winning that race regardless and quite frankly prior to 2024 was pretty much a democrat in every election.

Musk was left empty-handed.


Nonsense. He, with Donald Trump, saved the Republic, at least for now. He has a good chance of keeping his enterprises.

I wonder if the huff and puff between Musk and Trump is all for show...

Musk hasn’t said the America party will run a presidential candidate. I wonder if he will.

I think he might just put politicians in place who are willing to fix the deficit. It’ll take a while.

The deficit is an existential threat, but almost all of our current legislators only worry about turning taxpayer money into votes so they can continue to enrich themselves.

The problem is, Elon is looking at politics as an engineering problem. It’s broken, not working right, so he’ll design a better one.

That won’t work because politics is more about emotions and feels and quid-pro-quo favors, not to mention the quiet part (making a fortune while drawing a modest salary).

He’ll figure it out - eventually.

If Musk was politically smart, he would target the top RINOs in the House and Senate in the primaries.

Cleaning up government waste is not rocket science. It is much much harder.
