It sounds like the action of a spoiled toddler throwing his toys out of the pram when he doesn’t get his own way. I wonder who he thinks would vote for him?

Musk isn't running for Trump's job, yet. Right now, he is unable to be President, our Constitution doesn't allow him to be. But Trump &Co do not seem to be bound by pesky things like the Constitution and laws, so anything can happen.

This is all a stunt to make himself feel better IMO. A person can't just create a political party and start winning elections. There are rules and steps that must be followed and it is a long process.

He would be better off funding primaries against sitting members of Congress for 2026. I predict that his next step will be to do just that and The American Party idea will fall to the wayside.

Unless Tesla continues on his downward spiral and he runs out of borrowed money to live off of.

Who knows how Trump will respond to the America party. He is known for being unpredictable. In fact it's his motus operandi.

'This is what winning looks like'

Trump was always going to win that battle.

Where's the 🍿 ?

It's not funny, of course, other world leaders must be rubbing their hands in glee.

The Constitution would have to be changed before Musk could become POTUS. So who would he choose?

Trump will probably deport him😄

I bet Mr Musk is kicking himself over his massive funding of Trump's election campaign and the subsequent chaos which Trumpy has visited on the US. Musk moved Heaven and Earth to open Pandora's Box, presumably because he was just bored with being so rich?

Now he's got time on his hands, having been exorcised from the Court of King Donald, I can only assume he's founding his own political party to get back at his former Lord and Master.

But Trump will soon slap him down - he'll have him deported back to South Africa.

Elon Musk , having fallen out with his buddy Trump, has started a new political party. What a strange man he is - Trump will get revenge no doubt and Tesla sales won’t be looking too good. Two big egos in love with power ( and themselves)
