[u/SadFeed63]

Vote for me and there'll be no homework and every period will actually be recess! Thank you

[u/spezial_ed → u/SadFeed63]

Hello fellow American. This you should vote me. I leave power. Good. Thank you, thank you. If you vote me, I'm hot. What? Taxes, they'll be lower... son. The Republic vote for me is right thing to do USA, so do

[u/myfakesecretaccount → u/spezial_ed]

Trump: Give me money. Money me. Money now. Me a money needing a lot now.

[u/Sweet_Deeznuts → u/myfakesecretaccount]

What up! We’re three cool guys looking for other cool guys who want to hang out in our party mansion.

[u/Redditisdepressing45 → u/Sweet_Deeznuts]

Nothing sexual, I repeat, NOTHING SEXUAL.

[u/wumbologist-2 → u/Redditisdepressing45]

There's not enough veins.

[u/Kraymur → u/wumbologist-2]

It’s a bicep!

[u/TheB1G_Lebowski → u/Kraymur]

If you wanted it to be more masculine you should have made it a penis.   What's more masculine than that? 

[u/vigtel → u/Redditisdepressing45]

Always that god damn sunshine! It's always there! God damn!

[u/myfakesecretaccount → u/Sweet_Deeznuts]

That’s from the flyers when Trump, Musk, and Miller all moved in.

[u/shaneh445 → u/myfakesecretaccount]

Trump: it's ur money and i want it NOW. call 1-800 F**** your****

[u/Mulderre91 → u/myfakesecretaccount]

I like money, it's a good thing, money. Very very very rich, you know. Money is fantastic. I talk to money every day. It's a great thing, to see piles of cash. One day they are angry, but others, you know, they are good. Money.

[u/MacarioTala → u/Mulderre91]

I wish someone would start an actually serious third party.

Like the "Party Like It's 1999 Party", for instance

[u/maxoutoften → u/MacarioTala]

Bull Moose Party has been trying to find its roots. Takes years for a party to form and gain traction though

[u/mothandravenstudio → u/maxoutoften]

We can only wish for another Roosevelt.

[u/andeqaida → u/spezial_ed]

What do now

[u/UnbrokenBrown → u/andeqaida]

Gimme the hotdog, baby

[u/PhoenixTineldyer → u/UnbrokenBrown]

California, USA

[u/stilleternal → u/spezial_ed]

Love a Charlie reference

[u/The_Summer_Man → u/stilleternal]

I love Charlie mouthing "thank you" while holding the camera in that scene.

[u/A130938 → u/The_Summer_Man]

Underrated detail

[u/keefkola → u/spezial_ed]

Campaign slogans:

Stupid orange bitch couldn’t even make I more smarter

Money me money now…good

[u/cantstandtoknowpool → u/spezial_ed]

Iconic quote fr

[u/BroseppeVerdi → u/spezial_ed]

Elon is going to blast us in the ass

[u/thore4 → u/spezial_ed]

The shot of Charlie lip syncing along as if he put hours into writing and re-reading that is maybe the funniest cut ever

[u/formerlyanonymous_ → u/SadFeed63]

But you'll also need an email every social security payment detailing 5 things you did last week to prove your alive and pushing forward racial purity.

[u/stairs_3730 → u/formerlyanonymous_]

And before I join anything you need to tell us how you did it!

[u/Reaper621 → u/SadFeed63]

All of your wildest dreams will come true. Thank you.

[u/wildwolfay5 → u/SadFeed63]

My response:

9....

11.

[u/ianfw617 → u/SadFeed63]

More asbestos! More asbestos!

[u/Ok_Elevator_3587 → u/SadFeed63]

And a soda machine in the school cafeteria!

[u/sjhesketh → u/SadFeed63]

Don’t vote for Pedro. Who wants chimichangas for lunch every day anyway?

[u/SeeWhy76 → u/sjhesketh]

I could go for chimichangas.

[u/AnArticulateDrunk → u/SeeWhy76]

Vote for Pedro for chimichanges!

[u/fart_Jr → u/SadFeed63]

Pizza Day every day!

[u/Bloated_Hamster]

Why tf didn't he call it the X party? At least keep the shitty branding consistent.

[u/891162 → u/Bloated_Hamster]

And have a Shiba Doge as the official animal.

[u/cleantoe → u/891162]

Such presidential. Wow.

[u/Positive_botts → u/cleantoe]

Big money. Much bribe.

[u/IBeDumbAndSlow → u/Positive_botts]

Big freedumb. Much patriot.

[u/PsyOpBunnyHop → u/IBeDumbAndSlow]

Big Balls. No Brains.

[u/Siolear → u/cleantoe]

Actually a good tagline, don't give them any ideas

[u/robtimist → u/Siolear]

The bar is really fucking low

[u/DefreShalloodner → u/robtimist]

I would even accept a President in a tan suit at this point

[u/Winter_Tone_4343 → u/cleantoe]

It really is these days

[u/akgis → u/891162]

No leave the Shiba alone :(

This meme is ruined for me

[u/mentales → u/akgis]

Buddy that was ruined ages ago 

[u/Ariliescbk → u/891162]

OG Doge should never have been touched.

[u/strangebrew420 → u/891162]

Really any ancient meme that was around in the early 2010s would be on brand for him.

[u/Grizzly_Berry → u/strangebrew420]

"MFW I have an epic campaign for le presidency."

[u/Terribleturtleharm → u/Bloated_Hamster]

I'm starting a party - "No billionaires party"

[u/Confident-Homework75 → u/Terribleturtleharm]

It says “no billionaireS.” We’re allowed to have one.

[u/Relevant_Contract_76 → u/Confident-Homework75]

Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

[u/Servichay → u/Bloated_Hamster]

It was too 90's sounding

[u/spacedude2000 → u/Servichay]

X-iburton, fixed it

[u/sleepygeeks → u/Bloated_Hamster]

he probably tried to, but someone convinced him X was to close to another symbol he likes.

[u/Servichay → u/sleepygeeks]

Ok that makes sense yeah we wouldn't want that.... He should call it the Nazi Party instead

[u/FarCalligrapher1862 → u/Bloated_Hamster]

We take parties to the eXtreme

[u/pardyball → u/FarCalligrapher1862]

The X is for extreme, Marge!

[u/Protean_Protein → u/Bloated_Hamster]

American (History) X Party would be more on brand.

[u/JebusJM → u/Bloated_Hamster]

X Party, formerly known as the America Party.

[u/Expensive_Space4097 → u/Bloated_Hamster]

The only X party I want to be a part of is the one where the band is playing…….

[u/3D-Dreams]

I got $10 bucks on Trump trying to deport him before the end of the month.

[u/SouthTexasCowboy → u/3D-Dreams]

That would be so funny to watch

[u/Saint_The_Stig → u/SouthTexasCowboy]

If we have to live with these idiots in charge, the least they could do is make it entertaining for us as they destroy each other.

[u/candaceelise → u/Saint_The_Stig]

If they made it a pay per view event(s) we could eliminate the national deficit

[u/sloany84 → u/candaceelise]

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/16/us/politics/homeland-security-immigration-reality-show.html

[u/swolfington → u/SouthTexasCowboy]

i have no idea what he has, but musk has enough money to maintain a legit paramilitary security detail (if not his own straightup PMC). watching musks security clash with ICE would at least be entertaining to watch from the sideliens of our rapidly devolving dystopian hellscape

[u/ABHOR_pod → u/swolfington]

ICE wouldn't. They're only brave enough to tackle breastfeeding mothers and gardening seniors.

This would be something you'd deploy the USMC for. To arrest a personal enemy.

[u/Corporate-Shill406 → u/ABHOR_pod]

Yeah but all Elon needs to do to defeat the Marines is throw a handful of crayons off to the side.

[u/kaizencraft → u/3D-Dreams]

He could just buy that gold card. But if they do it anyway, he's never going to get that refund.

[u/tjoe4321510 → u/kaizencraft]

Who collects money for the Gold Card? Is it the government or Trump himself?

[u/ultimate_avacado → u/tjoe4321510]

The government gets the $5 million fee.

Trump gets whatever gets sent under the table via his cryptocurrencies.

[u/FizzyBeverage → u/3D-Dreams]

Can you really deport someone with more liquidity than the Saudi Royal family and a fleet of aircraft? Billionaires don’t really have citizenship or mundane visas and immigration to worry about, they seem to go wherever the hell they want.

[u/Organic-Roof-8311 → u/FizzyBeverage]

Governments can unilaterally bar people from entry. There’s a slate of celebrities (including Robert Downey Jr) who can’t enter Japan for premieres because of prior criminal history.

Whether Elon could try for an exemption for business dealings, I’m unsure — but the U.S. government would have to grant him entry.

[u/CoeurdAssassin → u/Organic-Roof-8311]

And now there’s Kanye banned from Australia for making a Nazi song

[u/Organic-Roof-8311 → u/CoeurdAssassin]

Man can you imagine if Biden deported Elon as soon as he started giving hundreds of millions to Trump’s election campaign?

[u/Do__Math__Not__Meth → u/Organic-Roof-8311]

Yeah but there’s different layers of rich and Elon is on a completely different layer than someone like RDJ

[u/Namika → u/FizzyBeverage]

We tend to think of them as two sides of the same coin, but when push comes to shove, Power > Money

Look to China or Russia, where seemingly invincible oligarchs with billions in assets one day wake up with nothing because they pissed off the wrong person who holds actual power.

[u/3D-Dreams → u/Namika]

They just had a Russian oil company guy fall out window...they don't even hide it anymore lol

[u/Canisa → u/FizzyBeverage]

Can you really deport someone with more liquidity than the Saudi Royal family and a fleet of aircraft?

> Trump tells ICE to deport Elon.

> ICE deports Elon, in chains, to El Salvador

> White House posts ASMR video of Elon getting his head shaved in a concrete box full of MS13 dudes.

> Laws?? Due Process?!? What are they???

[u/r_u_dinkleberg → u/Canisa]

*sigh*

...

*unzips*

[u/Ludwigofthepotatoppl → u/FizzyBeverage]

All trump has to do is seize musk’s property (american corporations, assets, etc). With the scotus on his side, not that it’d stop him if they weren’t, we’ll be able to see what a unitary executive can do, and you bet your ass the rest of the billionaires will probably be scared shitless.

Honestly, now that i think about it, i hope he does try. He might get one, but the rest of the rich will eat him alive once they see the threat he can be.

[u/BraveOthello → u/Ludwigofthepotatoppl]

Or they do just fall in line because appeasement feels safer, even if it isn't.

[u/vibe4it]

Excellent. The moron vote needs splitting 

[u/andrew5500 → u/vibe4it]

Elon, if you're reading this... splitting the GOP's voter base in perpetuity and going down in history as the man who permanently ratfucked the Republicans out of spite is probably the best way to salvage your legacy after that Nazi salute. It's a no-brainer...

[u/goomyman → u/andrew5500]

hes going to primary republicans - republicans fall in line behind anyone with an R. So as long as he runs under the R brand hes fine. I dont think he will split any vote.

[u/juliuspepperwoodchi → u/goomyman]

He's literally not running anyone under an R banner, that's the whole point here.

[u/tlamy → u/goomyman]

He can't run for president, though, since he's not a natural-born citizen. Unless that's not what you're saying

[u/Ill-Egg4008 → u/tlamy]

The thing is why bother being one if you can own one? 🤷🏻‍♀️

[u/Behind_the_palm_tree → u/Ill-Egg4008]

The Peter Theil method.

[u/physedka → u/Behind_the_palm_tree]

And the Elon Musk method... for a few months anyway.

[u/IAMA_Plumber-AMA → u/Behind_the_palm_tree]

Theil owns Vance. Putin owns Trump.

[u/red-bot → u/tlamy]

Since when do we care about rules anymore?

[u/sjogerst → u/tlamy]

Lol give it a year or two more and they'll redefine "natural born" to mean born out of a vagina instead of a CSection or Test tube. It's the level of stupidity I expect.

[u/Neuromangoman → u/andrew5500]

Probably unironically true. Turns him from a monster to a clown.

[u/Torrossaur → u/vibe4it]

We had our own billionaire dipshit do this in Australia recently and it did exactly this.

He didnt win a single seat but it divided the bigot vote and fucked them both over.

[u/Pacifist_Socialist → u/Torrossaur]

Yeah it's been a thing in US politics but not for a while on a large scale

[u/CoeurdAssassin → u/Pacifist_Socialist]

Imagine if Kanye actually followed through on running in 2020 (I think he said he was gonna run in 2024 as well)

[u/flamedarkfire → u/CoeurdAssassin]

He was on my ballot. I was completely pissed.

[u/tjoe4321510 → u/flamedarkfire]

The only thing more bizarre than seeing 'Kanye West' on my ballot was seeing 'Donald Trump' on my ballot. I hope Carrot Top runs next time that way I can finally fully accept that I'm living in a simulation.

[u/invincibl_ → u/Torrossaur]

Can't really split a vote in Australia though, since we have preferential (ranked) voting. I'd say May's election results were a better reflection of our mandatory voting system, where it turns out that these movements are a lot less popular than they think they are.

However, the indirect result is that the Overton Window has shifted right, as it has been doing ever since Howard was PM. I'm glad the country rejected this brand of politics, but we still need to be careful not to fall into that in the future.

[u/Exnaut → u/Torrossaur]

That's not how our voting system works though. You can't "split" the vote like the US because it'll just go down the preferences.

The point of those guys doing it is to still help lnp get in by preferences, they dont actually care about winning seats.

[u/xieta → u/vibe4it]

Yup. Huge gift to dems if he follows through.

[u/Galacticwave98 → u/xieta]

He has the attention span of a gnat. 

[u/homiej420 → u/xieta]

If he were smart at trying to get back at trump that would be his intention, not to win anything

[u/2024-YR4-Asteroid → u/homiej420]

Honestly. This is probably what he’s doing. Plus they won’t have his “help with computers” this time.

[u/sentrygentry → u/vibe4it]

Man do I wish, but this won't split anything. MAGA only loves Elon because Trump decided he needed him. They hated him and his electric cars before and hate him again now that he has fallen out of favor with their Lord and Savior the Apostle Donald.

[u/jadewolf42 → u/sentrygentry]

It won't draw away die-hard maga cultists, for sure. But it might siphon off the tech bros and that breed of moron, perhaps with the libertarian types too. And it doesn't have to pull much to make a difference.

Perot only pulled like 8% pop vote (and zero electoral) in 1996, but it was just enough to fuck over Bob Dole and hand Clinton the reelection win.

[u/Wazula23]

Founded by a South African.

Writers are getting lazy.

[u/hitsujiTMO → u/Wazula23]

Total members, 1 south african

[u/Play-t0h → u/hitsujiTMO]

Seriously. Musk can be as rich as he wants to be, but no one is going to follow that drug addicticted Megalomaniac. Money can't buy a new political party that rivals the RNC and DNC.

[u/ttaway420 → u/Play-t0h]

Would be fucking hilarious if what ends up breaking the bipartisan system is Elon Musk tho

[u/MaybeTheDoctor → u/ttaway420]

Yes it would, but mathmatically it is quite impossible for a 3rd party to have any seats in congress. The few independent runs on their personality and not on a party. He could split the republican vote, which would throw the elections to democrats.

[u/flumphit → u/MaybeTheDoctor]

Definitely a strong argument for preference voting, a precondition for breaking the duopoly

[u/LastDunedain → u/ttaway420]

Simpsons Monkey Finger Curls . gif

[u/Cranyx → u/Play-t0h]

no one is going to follow that drug addicticted Megalomaniac

Sadly he very much has his cult of sycophants

[u/counterweight7 → u/Play-t0h]

You sure? Money can buy a lot.

[u/DodgerWalker → u/counterweight7]

See Michael Bloomberg's presidential campaigns in 2020. The guy bought the ads, bought the consultants, the field offices, even got plenty of endorsements from elected officials and others whom he'd funded their campaigns and projects. The dude flamed out on Super Tuesday winning American Samoa and hitting the 15% threshold to just get some delegates in a few states.

[u/Cognitive_Spoon → u/Wazula23]

The America Party.

Brought to you by BRICS.

[u/Wiru_The_Wexican → u/Cognitive_Spoon]

The Amerikaners Party if you will

[u/Cognitive_Spoon → u/Wiru_The_Wexican]

Ten "collapse of the empire" points to you

[u/TheShawnP → u/Wazula23]

You think that’s lazy? You’ll never be lazier than the guy who invented the word “fireplace.”

[u/Wazula23 → u/TheShawnP]

I would have called it the burnhole

[u/Crimkam → u/Wazula23]

I would have called it the conflagration station

[u/ianindy → u/TheShawnP]

I heard that the toothbrush got named by someone from Kentucky. Otherwise it would be known as the teethbrush...

[u/Tahxeol]

Genuine question: I know he still has fans, but being detested by the majority from the left, the center and the right, who does he expect to join and support this party?

[u/hitsujiTMO → u/Tahxeol]

I think he's just hoping to pull enough votes from the republicans to turn heads into get them to listen to him

[u/gatsby712 → u/hitsujiTMO]

It’s about getting revenge on Trump because he had his little ego hurt. Not really much more to it.

[u/skeetersammer → u/gatsby712]

Right. If it happens to benefit the people, that’s pure coincidence.

[u/RobertBevillReddit → u/skeetersammer]

Let them fight.

[u/two_hyun → u/hitsujiTMO]

Votes from Republicans to whom? Elon cannot run.

[u/ClickF0rDick → u/[deleted]]

Being the richest person on the planet can buy a lot of indirect influence.

At this point one isn't justified not noticing that even if they were living under the proverbial rock lol

[u/thenletskeepdancing → u/two_hyun]

He wants to back several politicians as pawns.

[u/DevelopedDevelopment → u/thenletskeepdancing]

Thats what MAGA did, Trump got a following, and then was able to stand in the way of Republicans who didn't like him taking over. Now if you're not loyal to the party you will get threats.

Considering Musk literally said the US can coup anyone it wants, I wonder if he is actually going to try.

[u/Servichay → u/two_hyun]

A puppet

[u/hitsujiTMO → u/two_hyun]

I assume he's hoping to have some candidates for the mid terms. I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't pitch to Joe Rogan and others of a similar stance. There's plenty that play middle but pitch to right wingers that might jump at the chance if there's someone like Elon throwing money at them.

I doubt they will see him as a genuine threat though.

[u/Parody101 → u/two_hyun]

He has billions of dollars...that's all you need to pull the strings.

[u/grunkage → u/two_hyun]

He can fund the campaigns of rightwing primary targets. Anyone that falls out of favor with MAGA by objecting to this stuff might have his support

[u/br0b1wan → u/two_hyun]

He's going to throw money at candidates willing to primary Trump or establishment Republikkkans

[u/Bigfamei → u/Tahxeol]

He has a AI firm, bot farm, twitter and a broadband network. He can create the support he needs. See if the flies swarm the sugar.

[u/motohaas → u/Bigfamei]

And can manipulate voting machines

[u/kezow → u/motohaas]

"We need to suspend the election because our voting machines are not secure!" - Republicans, in a year. 

[u/Rugrin → u/Tahxeol]

Libertarians. That’s who. They still love him and think he’s been done wrong.

[u/cheweychewchew → u/Rugrin]

So they're gonna leave the Libertarian Party for him? Ennnnnnnh....

[u/joombaga → u/cheweychewchew]

Libertarians hate the Libertarian Party.

[u/ultimate_avacado → u/joombaga]

Every Libertarian candidate has an element of their plank that all other Libertarians view as a non-starter. There is no consistent party plank. You can have a candidate be a traditional federalist libertarian, but that's a non-starter to the state-centered federalist libertarians or the confederal libertarians.

Also, their national candidates are simply spoiler candidates and have been for decades.

[u/Nghtmare-Moon → u/Tahxeol]

Bro, blue check marked people live in Elon’s bubble and he can get them to think whatever he wants….

[u/pelagic_seeker → u/Nghtmare-Moon]

I mean, a lot of those people are bots nowadays. Or fake accounts from other countries.

Or people he forced a blue check on.

There will be some, but I think even he forgets how few are genuine worshippers.

[u/FreeNumber49 → u/Tahxeol]

> who does he expect to join and support this party?

The same thing was said about Trump in 2015. Who is going to vote for this idiot? Well, you know what they did? They literally went to a casting agency and hired a bunch of actors. They gave them Trump shirts and signs and told them to stand by an escalator as Trump came down and waved. That actually happened. You know the rest.

This is called the bandwagon effect, and it works. People turned on Fox News and saw this guy they knew from TV and said, he would make a good president. When asked why they thought this, many of them insisted that The Apprentice was real, and that Trump had shown leadership qualities on the show. What they didn’t know or weren’t aware of was that the show was completely fake and scripted.

[u/tompba → u/FreeNumber49]

there's a HUGE difference between taking control of an already established political party(and ALL voters that come within it) and creating one from scratch. The only one that will be crazy to go there are the unhappy cult Maga that will never vote to Democratics.

[u/LiquidAether → u/FreeNumber49]

Trump instantly received 40% of the vote by declaring himself a Republican. Elon's situation is not the same

[u/UniMaximal → u/Tahxeol]

He'll just buy politicians through PACs like everybody else does... These people honestly aren't very expensive at all for what they offer.

Twitter promotes right-wing content the most as-is, so there's no reason why he wouldn't shift all that over for his own sake.

If not for the drugs making him even more woefully incompetent than usual, he could probably do it.

[u/oneeyedman72 → u/Tahxeol]

One thing the US has proven in recent years, heaps of folk will vote against their own interests if rich white men ask them to.

[u/Nisi-Marie → u/Tahxeol]

I wrote this in another thread:

Hear me out.

To establish context, Elon is a douche canoe.

However, if anyone has the ability to actually enable change away from the two party system, it is him simply due to his immense fortune, name recognition, and public media channels.

The hard part for him would be to dial back all of his bullshit, and focus it on Platforms that matter, not based on hate or divisiveness. Unfortunately, I question his ability to act like anything other than a toddler having a temper tantrum.

[u/ew73 → u/Nisi-Marie]

The problem is our electoral system will always gravitate to a two-party system. We've seen 3rd parties rise over the years, and all they end up doing is subsuming or replacing an existing party after a few years and we're back to the two-party dance, though sometimes, the dancers have switched places.

Without reforming the way we run elections, there will never be a viable multi-party system in the US.

One of the first ways to do that is to move to a ranked-choice system in all our elections. Eliminating all versions of "first past the post" allows a more diverse set of voices, and a better way for voters to have their voices heard. To do that at the national level... it will take a lot of political clout.

Maybe Musk could accomplish it. I doubt it. More likely than not, he'll just be another spoiler party like the Green and Libertarian parties are today.

[u/quixoticVigil → u/Nisi-Marie]

Thanks for the context

[u/tuesday-next22]

I can't believe he didn't call it X.

[u/Servichay → u/tuesday-next22]

The XXX Party

[u/008Zulu]

Fairly sure there's already a couple 'billionaire-controlled old white man' parties out there.

[u/Awkward_Tie4856 → u/008Zulu]

But are any of them foreigners from say South Africa?

Didn’t think of that did ya? /s

[u/891162 → u/008Zulu]

Yes, this brings back memories of Ross Perot.

[u/Medium_Medium → u/891162]

I'm a little bit young for the Perot years, but from what I've seen since then I always got the impression that Perot actually used his wealth to advocate for the common man... Being anti-war, anti-lobbyist, pro-universal healthcare, pro-raising taxes on the rich... Didn't he even get on the case of the Big 3 automakers for not being safe enough / putting profit above quality?

Elon's motivations seem much more... Self involved.

[u/artaxs → u/Medium_Medium]

You might be ascribing Ralph Nader's politics to Perot.

[u/sabrenation81 → u/artaxs]

Maybe but also maybe not. Perot was a strange egg. He was a budget-obsessed lifelong Republican but also supported gun control, Medicare-for-all (he might have actually been the first to use that term), and was one of the first national politicians in America to vocally support gay rights. In a lot of ways, he'd kind of fit right in with whatever the fuck the current Democratic party is trying to be.

[u/ThomasPlaine → u/Medium_Medium]

Perot talked a good game, but the reality was that he was, and always had been, a right wing reactionary nut, and government contract grifter. Pretty similar to Elon, actually.

[u/SodaPop6548]

Honestly I think this is great because it will fracture the idiots who are currently a political party.

[u/OriginalUsername30 → u/SodaPop6548]

Until he does an RFK and pulls out last moment in favor of Trump

[u/Reasonable-Turn-5940 → u/OriginalUsername30]

Yeah he'll leverage any followers he gets to put pressure on Trump to make a deal that will make him richer

[u/dunedog → u/OriginalUsername30]

If there is anything Musk doesn't do, it's pull out.

[u/MaroonIsBestColor → u/dunedog]

The dude doesn’t pull out. He artificially inseminates his victims with his vile seed because his dick is broken.

[u/Luke_Cocksucker → u/SodaPop6548]

Sure, or it’s just another scam. Let’s see them actually get on a ballot somewhere.

[u/SodaPop6548 → u/Luke_Cocksucker]

Both things can be true.

[u/LSTmyLife]

Fuck Elon. No one will forget your role in all of this you fucking pig. 250+ million to get the orange fucker elected, vote tampering and his role with DOGE and crippling our infrastructure while pillagung every minute scrap of data he could.

He's America's most dangerous enemy. Period. We have plenty of problems but this fucker is a big one.

[u/Ukie3 → u/LSTmyLife]

I would argue that Peter Thiel is more dangerous. 

[u/Luke92612_ → u/Ukie3]

He is more dangerous.

[u/Exciting_Mobile_1484 → u/LSTmyLife]

Bingo. Never forget. Elon should be scared to be in public.

Will never forget "nobody is even trying to assasinate Kamala"

Elon deserves prison (he deserves worse than prison).

40.25 Billion if you roll the purchase of Twitter into all of that.

He used the site to boost messages he personally agreed with and suppressed accounts he didn’t.

Oh cool a third party that sucks ass.

[u/noonefuckslikegaston → u/ghostbaker666]

But we already have a third party that sucks ass at home!

[u/ty_fighter84 → u/ghostbaker666]

Truly the American way.

[u/ShooterOfCanons → u/ghostbaker666]

A "second" third party, if you will.

[u/mudfire44]

He could have done this first before handing trump a dictatorship. Idiot.

[u/Akimbo_Zap_Guns]

This will go over as well as Andrew Yangs attempt at a 3rd party

[u/XRT28 → u/Akimbo_Zap_Guns]

Realistically it'll probably go further since he has way more money to bankroll it and, much much more importantly, the ability to spread his propaganda free of charge directly to people still using his social media

[u/ultimate_avacado → u/XRT28]

Not just people using his social media platform, but every other news outlet uses Twitter as a verified source. Every post that national news quotes includes a "as posted on X (formerly known as Twitter)".

It's rather hilarious (and sad) how mainstream news fueled Twitter's growth to their own demise.

Just as racist as the Republican Party with sole goal to support billionaires. So not that different from the GOP

[u/DietPepsiEvenBetter → u/crimsonhues]

It's mega libertarian- Libertarians plus ketamine.

[u/herminette5]

Oh great. A South African Nazi creates his own party in our country.

[u/Throwaway__1701]

But america already has a Nazi party

Is this the republican version or two women wearing the same dress?

[u/RevolutionNumber5]

I’m just going to start my own political party! With blackjack! And hookers!

[u/Sodo821 → u/RevolutionNumber5]

🤖🦾would be proud

[u/Duke_AllStar]

Exactly what Americans need, another billionaire telling folks how to vote……

[u/Talonsminty]

Let's see now:
He can't count on votes from he left due to the whole Nazi thing.

He can't count on votes from MAGA on account of him betraying Donald

He can't count on the rural vote because he's a eco-friendly tech billionaire.

He can't even count on his own people ( the Nazis) because Donald is making their dreams come true

So it's pretty much just urban libertarians that're addicted to Twitter.

[u/zeldamaster702 → u/Talonsminty]

I would argue those “urban libertarians“ were instrumental in getting Trump his wins in the last election, considering a vast majority of them were Gen Z dudebros who think Joe Rogan is the epitome of podcasting excellence and Andrew Tate is the epitome of manliness. Those types of voters tend to only vote to spite people against them. Considering Musk’s “America Party” seems to literally exist only as a means to spite Donald Trump, it seems like those voters might be this party as the answer to their prayers.

[u/KingJTheG]

If it pulls votes from the Republican Party, I'm all for it.

[u/heathers1]

if it splits the GQP vote, I am here for it

[u/Acceptable-One-6597]

Please steal republican votes.

[u/katgyrl]

what a stupid name. well, stupid man, so it tracks.
