Elon Musk announces creation of his new ‘America Party’https://www.france24.com/en/americas/20250705-elon-musk-announces-creation-of-his-new-america-partyI would love for America to escape the two-party system. But the richest man on the planet should not be the origin story of a third party.Why?There are many reasons, but money in politics is the main one. It is the reason the two-party system is currently failing us. This, so-called third option solves nothing.

@enigmatico Elon Musk may not be able to be President, but he can find himself another puppet to install his agenda.

@enigmatico Wealthy people like Elon Musk are used to getting their way. They are accustomed to being able to buy anything, anyone, and any system.The next puppet can turn on him just as easily as Donald Trump did, but that will not stop Elon Musk from trying — and in the process, making things worse for everyone else. Furthermore, he is wealthy enough to keep trying. While he may not get everything he wants all at once, he can get one person at a time to implement one thing at a time.

@enigmatico Dividing the Republican Party would be a good outcome, in my opinion. But I also worry that many Americans wrongfully worship wealthy people.As a nation, after all, we often elect wealthy Democrats who seem to be Democrats in name only. Furthermore, the desire for a third option — even a misguided one started by Elon Musk — could become a problem.The United States is grappling with deep-rooted, systemic problems.
