RedditsuxBREAKING: Elon Musk Calls For New Political Party to Stop Trump’s ‘Insane’ Spending Bill
Do it. I dare ya.
A little late there champ. You enabled the (other) fascists already, not sure there is coming back.
Capt. WolfMan… Just shut the fuck up already and go away…
I’m all for him hurting the GOP and Trump’s image, but he is the absolute furthest fucking thing a political leader needs to be… He’s just doing this because he’s an attention whore who’s pissed that everyone hates him. He needs needs to be forced into the cave of mundanity and nothingness like the dispicable little troll he is.
I mean, if he pushes hard enough, he might get deported.
Hopefully not before having all his holdings and assets seized…
Sure thing, trump admin seizes everything and auctions it sadly the public is informed a bit late and everything gets in the hands of trumps yes sayer army for cheap.
The most likely outcome is nothing.
The second most likely outcome is a fracturing of Trump’s opposition, further weakening their ability to impede him.
If they weren’t such incompetent idiots I’d suspect it was a ploy to create a controlled opposition.
Why do you think that? Do you think Republicans can’t get mad enough at each other’s words and actions that voter turnout for them wont drop or that some may get pissed and actually vote against someone the hate?
If you go numerically the majority of people who like Musk are Republicans, not Democrats. His views aren’t going to suddenly flip and make more people left of MAGA like him.
It seems more likely it would fracture MAGA to me. Let them fight each other. We could definitely use the stalling of shit if there is anything left to save in 2029. The 2026 elections and reactions to by the current legislature before 2027 will play a huge role in figuring out if anything will be salvageable.
I can’t see a significant percentage of Trump’s MAGA supporters abandoning him in favor of Musk. But I can see Musk being a divisive figure among the non-MAGA Republicans, with some refusing to work with him while others are happy to take his money.
You only need ~5% of Republicans to not vote or hate Trump enough to say maybe unknown candidate will be better and vote for them.
Can he get 1 in 20 Republicans to think Trump and co are bad? Not sure, but when your enemies want to fight each other, let them
There is growing complaints in MAGA about Trump. They didn’t want wars and they don’t like the Big Beautiful Bill. MTG of all people has taken those stances.
The second most likely outcome is a fracturing of Trump’s opposition, further weakening their ability to impede him.
Why would MAGA follow Elon Musk? Better question. Who would even follow Elon Musk? He’s hated by one side for being a literal Nazi and the other side for for going against Trump. I guess he still had his tech bro and crypto toadies but those people aren’t really a reliable voter base.
Who would even follow Elon Musk?
Candidates looking for funding.
Wanted: Nazi Toadie to run for political office.
Requirements: Must have 12 years experience writing AI prompts and understand how to use X.
Experience giving blowjobs to a malformed penis a plus.
Compensation depends on how corrupt you are.
MAGA are not Trump’s opposition. Corporate Dems would happily take Musk’s money though.
CileTheSaneThe Democrats are the controlled opposition. Look how strongly they resist actual progressives versus how strongly they resist Trump.
amniotic druidPlease please please please pleas
Elmo found his phone before the hit wore off again
He may do some good on accident.
Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Not if it’s still running.
Best he could do is get them to pass a continuing resolution. But, he really just wants them to cut the shit out of federal spending. We aren’t going to be able to do that fully. We might cut some spots, but it’ll never be enough. We have to raise taxes.
I can’t wait for the whole lot of them to implode
You know his chirping might be good. Inform the voters the GOP is fiscally irresponsible.
MushuChupacabraElon could bring the whole regime down if he chose to do so.
Twitter isn’t completely dead, and he could gear all propaganda on it to suit his whims.
He could slice this administration to ribbons if he chose to apply himself to the goal.
You forget that he’s a drug addicted narcissist who’s not as bright as his PR team.
No he couldn’t. Trump would cancel his government contracts. Musk already backed off pretty fast when he threatened to do that last time he ran his mouth. If he kept going then Trump would just deport him, he even has the pretext for it if he wants it.
That would be extremely funny
Dear God, please let this happen because it would be so fucking funny, amen
He also likely has a shit ton of data from all the siphoning DOGE did that could be weaponized.
“It is obvious with the insane spending of this bill, which increases the debt ceiling by a record FIVE TRILLION DOLLARS that we live in a one-party country – the PORKY PIG PARTY!!” Musk wrote on X and ketamine.
What a username you have. My god 😩
Last time I jumped into the band wagon cheering the Cheeto’s entrance into politics and almost instantly regretting it, that’s when we got Cheeto. I was thinking in my head, if only some rando piece of #$@@$@ candidate could come and help Hilary win. And bang! Hilary lost and we got Cheeto. Like we all ended up assuming nobody would actually vote Cheeto because he was a celebrity and we hadn’t had one of those in a while. But nah. So here we are, Cheeto vs billionaire nazi asshole. Who would ever vote nazi asshole right?
samus12345Monkey’s paws. Not even once.
I hope all these nazis follow their leader.
Gee I wonder what his new political party’s solute would look like?
Maybe one that supports renewable energy and c
-☆-Fund me Elon. I’ll start it for you. Willing expropriation is the greatest good you can do for this world at this point.
That aughta do it! pats dust off hands
AllNewTypeFaceMaybe he can set his best engineers on building one
He should team up with Andrew Yang. Just a couple of rich boys, fighting against the system. Good times. /s
Split the Republicans? Yes please
Musk could have been a superhero. He could have just made EVs and not done a Nazi salute … things would probably be fine.
No. He had to tamper in politics and likely give Trump the win. Musk was too dumb to realize he would get thrown to the side the minute he said anything but “yes” to “Great Leader” … now he is thrown to the side and is too dumb to realize it’s over for him. He is hated on all sides.
He can kiss Trumps ass or fade in to obscurity. Those are his options.
I honestly think he’s still team Trump and always was, he just dropped the mask and is now trying desperately to put it back on to save his stock.
He’s always been team Elon, and team Elon also likes to be contrarian and ‘edgy’, so that aligned with being pro Trump. He also wants to ditch government spending and regulation, which aligns to a claimed GOP principle (though they love spending so it’s a lie). So now he’s faced with the reality that everyone else already knew, the Republicans spend like crazy, even less responsibly than Democrats.
He basically wants a party to represent the perspective of ‘screw poor people’ as it’s one and only tenant.
None of those people are on anyone else’s team. They’ll set up alliances where they can mutually profit, but the second any of those profits slip to one side, they’re unceremoniously ousted.
TryenjerAm I the only one who predicts that Elon will jump out of the window soon?
It’s likely
He still has immense personal wealth, and he can sway politics with these mountains of money . Time will tell.
Not really. Musk was a snake oil salesman for years. The people who believed in him were foolish to do so, all of that long before his salute and his budget concerns. We should also remember that fascists don’t have a long game. They really are as ridiculous as they appear. There was no possibility for Trump or Musk to maintain a positive image, except through brute force threats.
While it is true he has been crappy and not really that smart pretty much from the onset, the world would have been happy to continue perpetuating the myth of Musk as the real world Tony Stark.
People wanted that narrative, certain people profited immensely off the myth, and there wasn’t much practical downside apart from it being really unjustified for these folks to get so rich, but we accept that downside constantly.
Nazi salute…? You mean not called a man trying to help a bunch of kids trapped in a cave a pedophile, right? Or a thousand other insane things way before a fucking salute, right?
Hell if he wasn’t at a rally for the orange dictator I would say he could make EVs and get away with a salute here and there.
You know, I heard a rumor that AOC should run for president as an independent party, because she’d never make it through the Democratic primaries, but that would be a terrible idea, because it would split the party. Let’s say 50% of the country is Democratic and 50% is Republican; if the Democratic vote gets split 25% for the Democrat candidate and 25% for AOC, but the Republican vote stays 50% for their candidate, then the Republicans win in a landslide. I have a feeling that this is why the two-party system is so ingrained into our politics.
But if the Republicans also split their party into MAGA and non-MAGA Republicans at the same time, then that election becomes somewhat balanced again, and probably closer to what the founding fathers actually intended. Granted, Elon isn’t calling for a new party for a presidential election, just to stop this bill, but still, it’d be interesting to see an election with four viable candidates rather than two.
independents are pressure candidates. she likely could run as an independent but it wouldnt actually be to become president. it would be for the Democratic party to buy her concession.
Look at what RFK Jr did. he left the race for a cabinet position and policy agreements.
She could use an independent presidential run to pull the dems back towards the left
Let’s be clear about what is upsetting Musk. He is in favour of the tax cuts to the rich. He just thinks that the poor should SUFFER MORE to make the tax cuts happen. He wants to keep all of the stuff that will benefit him, and cut all the stuff that keeps everyday Americans alive. Please don’t spin this as some kind of redemption arc for Musk. If anything, he upset that Trump isn’t even shittier.
acargitzI wonder why he’s not just joining the Libertarians.
CorkyskogBecause they don’t have numbers
