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.
I’ve been talking about running essentially on the Republican party platform from the mid-1950s. It’s basically what Dems say they want.
I’ve had similar thoughts. I’ve even thought about pretending to be full maga just to get elected. Not sure if I could actually do it though.
It’s so much harder to fake being a Nazi than it is to fake being a tiny bit decent. I guess I’m just not as practiced at the Nazi thing as your average conservative is though.
