Elon Musk promises new political party: Like Larry David opening up a spite store, so too will Elon Musk start a spite party if President Donald Trump's domestic policy bill passes.
"If this insane spending bill passes, the America Party will be formed the next day," wrote Musk on X. "Our country needs an alternative to the Democrat-Republican uniparty so that the people actually have a VOICE." (Technically speaking, that alternative already exists, and it's politically rather aligned with where Musk appears to be on most issues.)
"Every member of Congress who campaigned on reducing government spending and then immediately voted for the biggest debt increase in history should hang their head in shame!" he had written just hours prior. "And they will lose their primary next year if it is the last thing I do on this Earth."
