Elon Musk has launched the "America Party" (Public Board)

It's really a dig at Trump and Republicans because he didn't get what he wanted out of the "Big, Beautiful Bill". He's trying to spoil the midterms in 2026 and pick off a few Senate and House seats. I really wish he would step back from politics and go back to running his businesses.

He claims to be representing the supposedly centrist voters that don't like either party. Good luck with that, Elon. Most people don't like you either.

Its a scam of some sort. Full of nonamericans. Maybe an extortion racket? Give me my subsidies and I'll dismantle the party?

Its looking like musk has never made a nontaxpayer-funded dollar in his life.

Musk is like a spoiled man-child. He's gotten billions of government subsidies over the years that contributed greatly to his success, but he thought he could have significant control over the Trump presidency. It didn't work out that way in the end so now he's pissed and this is the way he's going to get revenge.

I don't know how you can have an America party without Americans. I read somewhere he spent a lot of money setting up the party. I'm starting to think Musk is having some kind of mental break. He seems obsessed with being a spoiler in our elections to get back at Trump and the Republicans for passing the "Big, Beautiful Bill.

Musk lost a big deal for Tesla with Azoria because they think his political ambitions aren't compatible with him being the CEO.

Third parties do exceptionally poorly in the US. It'll make no difference.

It's all, 100% theater and spectacle.

I don't have any interest in contributing to the endless stream of value judgements of Elon Musk's motives, personal virtue, self interests, etc. He's a loon but I knew that even when he was campaigning for Trump. He's no worse than Trump in terms of character.

Tables turned in some weird alternate reality, I could see Trump acting much worse than Musk is acting if he were playing second fiddle.
