RedditsuxBREAKING: Elon Musk Calls For New Political Party to Stop Trump’s ‘Insane’ Spending Bill
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.
