Elon Musk floated a new political party on Friday after falling out with President Trump over the big, beautiful bill. 

He launched a Thursday poll on the social platform X, which he owns, asking about whether or not the country needed a new faction for political nominees.

“The people have spoken. A new political party is needed in America to represent the 80% in the middle! And exactly 80% of people agree. This is fate,” Musk wrote, citing numbers from his survey. 

He followed up with a potential name for the group, “The America Party.”

Sounds cringe.

Musk still hasn't learned his lesson to stay the hell out of politics and build your robots.

Is there even a more generic name out there? That's like calling your band "The Band" and your album "The Music" LMAO

Bravo, America, you have given us all a great sitcom to watch and enjoy

[PurpleTree]

I mean personally i think it’s probably not a coincidence that Elon has the same name or got his name from a Wernher von Braun book (wink he was SS Nazi, but later NASA)

That he came from an apartheid country.

That he supports the AfD in Germany.

 

That he helped get Trump voted.

The richest man in the world

and so on.

Imo it’s what he wanted from the beginning, get his foot into politics, create his own party

Tadaaa Muskolini the emperor with robots armies.

@Leo Gura I mean you keep criticizing americans, you should come to some islamic country, you'll see that americans aren't nearly as deluded and brainwashed as some of these people in muslim countries. 

The whole situation with islam is so weird. Muslims deadass believe they're smarter than most of the planet, and that the religion they were born into didn't brainwash them, instead it happened all by accident to be the truth. Lmao how convenient.

Yea and if there is something "good" like western/science medicine, or the invention of planes etc. They can just say it was Allah, so it’s still our religion that’s true.

JD Vance (who could become president)

and Peter Thiel connection according to GPT

 

Key Points of Their Connection:

 

 

 

1. 

Early Financial Backing

 

 

Peter Thiel, a billionaire tech entrepreneur and conservative political donor, was one of the earliest and most significant financial backers of J.D. Vance.

Thiel contributed $10 million to a super PAC (Protect Ohio Values PAC) supporting Vance’s 2022 U.S. Senate campaign in Ohio. This was a major boost to Vance’s candidacy in a crowded Republican primary.

 

 

 

2. 

Shared Ideological Leanings

 

 

Both Vance and Thiel are part of the “New Right” or “post-liberal” movement that is skeptical of globalization, critical of Big Tech (despite their tech backgrounds), and supportive of populist-nationalist politics.

Vance has embraced many of the themes championed by Thiel, such as anti-elitism, nationalism, and criticism of U.S. foreign policy and corporate influence.

 

 

 

3. 

Professional Ties

 

 

Vance once worked at a Thiel-backed venture capital firm, Mithril Capital, after his time at Yale Law School and before launching his own firm.

Thiel was also a supporter of Vance’s venture capital firm, Narya Capital, which was based in Ohio and aimed to invest in Middle America startups.

 

 

 

4. 

Political Symbiosis

 

 

Thiel has used his wealth to promote candidates aligned with his vision of a new conservative elite. In Vance, he saw a compelling mix of working-class appeal (due to Hillbilly Elegy) and elite credentials.

Vance’s political rise has helped elevate Thiel’s influence in GOP politics, particularly in shaping a more populist and nationalist Republican agenda.

It's human nature, if you think the other side is going to save you, think again, that all I'm trying to say.  Live by example, don't live through these corrupt "leaders" on either side.  Didn't think it would end up this bad. Willing to admit I was wrong on this one. There was no good candidate this election, because of the people who actually run things behind the scenes, and because of human nature. I don't see how this benefitted Musk though... I guess his mistake was trusting Trump. I doubt he can rebuild his reputation among the establishment just by playing nice now, but you never know... enlightened people are supposed to be forgiving.  

A Vance administration would have way less support than a Trump one. I mean Trump is literally the head of a cult lol, without him his supporters don’t give a fuck about politics

The political system in the USA has really failed.

I envy all the other developed countries in the world—each of them has a much better system than the U.S. for filtering out the worst kinds of candidates, both in terms of personality and qualifications. They also appear to experience less political gridlock and dysfunction than the American system.

Weren't you just criticizing Vegans for disrespecting and undermining traditional culture?

[Breakingthewall]

Now Trump almost seems like a sane, down-to-earth guy compared to Elon. Poor Elon, from hero to global idiot in a month. It's sure to be good for his karma, but bad for his companies.
