With how much he loves the letter, I'm shocked he didn't call it the X party.
I hear he loves history too, so maybe the History X party. I guess he should include the America part so people know which side he's on.
The "American History X" party sounds about right for him.

Not the 'America Fascist Party'? AFP = AFD.
Yes, please split the Right.
They even have their own party salute!
The Ketamerika Party
Honestly, if they are handing out free kholes I’ll probably join.
"I want a fan club!"
The twat is sad he's not in the news as much anymore.
Borrowing from the Brits when I say: Fuck off, ya wanker!
don’t believe his lies.
He’s gonna offer cars and money to people. Of course they will agree with him
There’s a lot I would do to avoid being given the cars he has.
We need a third party, but not one made/controlled by a billionaire. We need a new party by and for the common people.
We don't need one right now. I doubt we could get one up and running in time with everyone onboard.
Hate to say it though... Musk has resources. Just saying.
super hypothetical, but if the far right splits, that could open the door for a center left party
Center left? Center left??? How about full blown leftist socialist, because nothing less will do.
Center left in american politics is definitley not what is needed. That's like using a teenage mutant ninja turtle bandaid and thinking thats better for curing cancer than a normal bandaid.
This might be the greatest analogy in the history of analogies. Top 10 at least.
we currently have a right party and a far right party, a center left party winning mayor elections would be like crazy good in the US

Nobody strained any muscles thinking up that name
Yeah but what did it take to convince him to use a generic name?
I'm not creative but, Pajama Party? The PP.
Honestly it's surprising there's isn't an X in it. Maybe Elmo had hit a new stage in growth.
You mean ExAmerica Party?
split the right? go Musk! 😂🤮
The new face of Elon Musk
He's too far into the K-hole to realize that the face of Mark Zuckerberg isn't an upgrade.

This man is a human taint. That said, I would gladly take his money if it would get me into an office where I could implement some real, lasting, democratic-socialist style change. Obviously that last part of the plan would be hidden from him. Commence your down voting.
I've been talking about running essentially on the Republican party platform from the mid-1950s. It's basically what Dems say they want.
I’ve had similar thoughts. I’ve even thought about pretending to be full maga just to get elected. Not sure if I could actually do it though.

I mean fair to say but a real partnership would probably be to really just get someone to play his role while the real player moves through the democratic primary and wins.
Musks role really only is going to serve as a potential spoiler for the republican candidates... no left leaning person is even going to consider a party funded by musk.
Then I’ll take the hit
Fuck downvoting. Double agent that fucker.
I’ve got a sign-up sheet going…
If you can't build a sufficiently-large coalition of voters internal to one of the Big Two parties, how is starting from scratch rather than doing internal realignments going to be any easier?
The US electoral system will stabilize around two large, big-tent parties. If you start a new party, then you will need to convince enough people to join that party, which will kill off at least one existing Big Two party. The requirement to build the coalition of voters doesn't go away. It's just that now you've got extra tasks to deal with.
Trump didn't get his position by cleverly manipulating internal party mechanisms in the GOP. He got it by going out and selling voters on Trump. Someone else can do that too.
- Publicly funded elections
- End FPTP and enact a parliamentary system
- Better media that lets everyone know what's going on
Lots of luck with any one of them, but that's the answer
We don't need the answer. We need a leader.
Leader is subjective. Trump is a “leader.”
We do not need another Trump.
Is there anything else you can infer from my comment?
It’s actually the words you used.
“We need a leader”
Quite subjective.

The problem is that with any type of FPTP system, any compelling leader outside the existing power structure will produce the opposite effect as their stated policies are.
Something like Bernie Sanders trying to drag the Democrats over to some kind of human policy matrix is actually a realistic possibility, but it's definitely an uphill battle... but there is plenty of precedent on the right for a successful leader just hijacking and overriding the existing power structure and taking it in his own direction, it's definitely possible.
If you want people to out vote Republicans you need someone to lead them. And lead the other Democrat politicians.

It has been estimated that there was a total of 5.5 Billion dollars spent in the last Presidential Election. Elon Musk is estimated to be worth over $400 billion. He can literally buy Congress.
