US Elon Musk's New Party: Who Has Declared Interest? - Musk posted a poll on July 4, asking respondents if they wanted a new party, with 65.4 percent saying that they supported the idea.

Musk posted a poll on July 4, asking respondents if they wanted a new party, with 65.4 percent saying that they supported the idea.

On X, formerly Twitter, he wrote: "Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom," citing the poll.

Given he is a foreign-born U.S. citizen, Musk cannot run for president but he can support third-party candidates, who can put themselves on the ballot in every state, if they have enough signatures to support their bid. However, this could prove difficult because it is rare for third-party candidates to break through significantly in federal elections.

What To Know​

Posting on X, Marc Cuban, a billionaire businessman and TV personality suggested he was interested in the party, sharing fireworks emojis then writing: "I work with [Center for Competitive Democracy]. They will help you get on ballots. That is their mission."

Anthony Scaramucci, who was fired by Donald Trump just 10 days into the job as White House communications director in 2017, wrote: "I would like to meet to discuss."

Social media personality Brian Krassenstein, who has over 900,000 followers, wrote: "Awesome! Where can we see more information?"

Tyler Palmer, a tech investor and producer, suggested policies the America Party should endorse like modernizing the military with AI and robotics and said if these policies were on the platform "where do we send our donations?"

However, other people expressed concerns about the party.

Roger Stone, a longtime Republican strategist and Trump loyalist, said: "I have huge respect for @elonmusk and everything he has done for free speech and to ferret out waste fraud and corruption in federal spending, but I would rather see him pursue his efforts at electoral reform within the Republican Party primaries rather than having a new party splitting the vote of sane people and letting the Marxist Democrats gain control again."

Trump's former chief strategist Steve Bannon also criticized the party on the Friday edition of his podcast The War Room.

"The foul, the buffoon. Elmo the Mook, formerly known as Elon Musk, Elmo the Mook," Bannon said. "He's today, in another smear, and this—only a foreigner could do this—think about it, he's got up on, he's got up on Twitter right now, a poll about starting an America Party, a non-American starting an America Party."

He added: "No, brother, you're not an American. You're a South African. We take enough time and prove the facts of that, you should be deported because it's a crime of what you did—among many."

What People Are Saying​

Dafydd Townley, an American politics expert at the University of Portsmouth, previously told Newsweek that "third parties do not tend to have a long lifetime in American politics," adding that Musk's new party "would likely split the Republican vote, potentially resulting in a Democrat-dominated House of Representatives, at least in the short term, due to the winner-takes-all electoral system."

What Happens Next​

As more details about the party emerge, it is likely that other high-profile political figures will comment on it, either to criticize the initiative or to offer their support.

I do agree that we need Third Parties in Congress and in national elections. The issue is Elon is too retarded to be leading a third party. We wouldn't be in a shitty situation if this two party rat race hadn't continued since the 1790s. Ideally there would be zero political parties and everyone would be an independent. Less ideally but practically multiple viable parties competing on the national stage would fix the issue.

 

[William Murderface]

I just started thinking about the TEA Party. Remember them? How they were a big internal Republican uprising and then they were subverted by the establishment GOP to the point that the entire movement just fell apart. Even if Musk's new party was able to get any traction for the 2026 election, they would be co-opted by one or both parties and would suffer the same fate. By the 2028 election, the American Party would be entirely gone and we would be back to business as usual.

And the GOP would be perfectly fine with the Dems being in charge in 2027 and 2028 because they hate Trump that much and would rather be the minority party anyway. That way they don't need to actually do anything except keep their hands out saying "we'll get the Dems next time but we need your money to do it" and the rubes would be happy to be fleeced.

The problem with third parties is that you'd end up with Extreme Left Wing Party winning 30% of the vote, then winning by default because Normal Right Wing Party got 25%, Normal Left Wing Party got 15%, Extreme Right Wing But Not Really Party got 12%, Green Party got 7%, and so on.

This never works. All that happens is they coalition into what is essentially two parties anyways, except that those who should have the least amount of power in the coalition ironically have the most.

Its one of the MANY reasons Europe has become such a shithole, because smaller parties (like the green party) can simply force the bigger parties to meet their demands in order to get them to join so they can have a viable majority coalition.

Its why the US system of government is so genius because it has protections against tyranny of the majority AND tyranny of the minority. While the European Parliament system has very few, if any, protections against a tyranny of the minority.

All third parties do in the US system is weaken one of the two bigger parties so the other gains dominance. There is a reason journoscum faggots keep supporting attempts at conservative third parties, while shitting on liberal ones. They don't support third parties, they support weakening the "right" side of the aisle with third parties.

you cant have more than two viable parties in a first past the post electoral system
you need proportional representation to have a multi party system

The Tea Party working as a radical wing of an existing party rather than an actual third was a better move because it didn't disrupt the host party as much. It still kind of hurt them with the centrist vote, of course.

I personally would like more parties since our current two party system is a noose around our necks as it is. Ideally Trump would have formed his own instead of taking the Republican nomination

The biggest fault of the Constitution is that it requires all the players in it to agree to not violate the Constitution and unfortunately, that is rarely the case. Look at the sheer number of cases that involve our rights being violated by our own government and in the end nobody is really held accountable, ,much less punished for the violations. The Second Amendment is clear, but every year we get proposed or even passed legislation that violates it. The Sixth Amendment says all criminal trials shall be open to the public, but Congress and the Courts have said secret courts are perfectly fine. All taxes must be first made in the House, but both the House and Senate just use their procedural hocus pocus to ignore the provision.

The TEA party failed because the only actual way to fix spending long term is to gut Social Security.

Hey race traitor, I get to be entitled since my race built everything. Maybe I wouldn't be such an entitled brat if you didn't want to steal my inheritance and give it to entitled spice niggers who can't read. I have met hood niggers with a better moral compass than you. They sit down and drink with me and we have a great time because we're both fucked over in life just in different ways.

Maybe don't let non-Americans vote in your shit eating shitskin poll if you want Americans' opinions on American politics.

I hope all of your faggy ass cars leave the plant with faulty batteries that crap out before they reach the dealers. I hope Trump puts EV penalties on you, I want a $1,000,000 tax on every car sold.

South Africa functioned with a 90% black population because the niggers knew Whites were in charge and respected them. Multiethnic countries can function even with large amounts of nigger rights and and overwhelming nigger population if whites stay in charge. Indians are a subversive plague like Jews and Gypsies, they come to plunder and steal from the shadows regardless of who's in charge.

The gayest car I've ever seen is the cybertruck. I would rather drive a Yugo because I can fix it without a fucking lawsuit.

Want to talk about freedom? Endorse right to repair you crypto Jew.

Elon Musk
Marc Cuban
Anthony Scaramucci,
Brian Krassenstein
Tyler Palmer -

So what do we have here:
- A clout-chasing anti-Trump Jew (Krassenstein) who is clearly not supportive of anything on the political right
- A guy (Palmer) who wants to spend unlimited govt money on tech to build an army of terminator robots
- Anthony Scaramucci - A total asshole with no ideas and a grudge against Trump over his own failure in Washington
- Elon Musk - A guy throwing a temper tantrum over his green government subsidies getting cut
- Marc Cuban - Another anti-Trump guy who campaigned for Harris and Walz as the answer to a question nobody was asking

That list of guys is not something you can build a political party from. As far as Musk has a set of ideas, his ideas are around giving more federal money to him and increasing taxes on everyone else.

In the 1990s, Ross Perot had George Bush breaking his word on raising taxes, NAFTA and deficits to organize a party around. These guys have nothing really to complain about.

He's making a big tent disaffected centrist coalition. Basically the billionaires' Trump fatigue chamber. I could see Bloomberg joining.

As the last guy to vastly underestimate just how much 2A means to even centrist Republican voters, he'd fit right in, and also not be a great idea.

Elon Musk has more in common with his tranny son than he thinks. What a BPD case.
