Elon Musk America Party explained: Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, has announced a new political party To “return the Americans their freedom”.
Musk had previously conducted a survey on X, the social media platform he owns, asking people if the United States were to obtain a new political party. Sunday morning India Tempo, he published on X: “For a factor from 2 to 1, you want a new political party and you will have it! When it comes to making sure that our country with waste and graft, we live in a party system, not a democracy. Today the American party is formed to return your freedom.”
Musk’s dramatic violation with Donald Trumpwho contributed to being elected as president of the United States, he arrived at the only great act of Bill. What exactly is Musk’s problem with Trump’s leading legislation and how soon can his political party take off? We explain, in 3 points.
What is the great beautiful account and why does Musk oppose?
The only beautiful beautiful workmanship covers many of the promises of the Trump campaign in great legislation. While you can Read a detailed explainer on the account hereBriefly, he announces the tax cuts on the one hand and promises to spend much more for the safety of borders, the defense and deportation of illegal immigrants on the other.
To compensate for the loss of income from tax cuts and the increase in spending, eliminates some welfare and subsidy measures. The debt roof also increases, which is the amount that the United States government is authorized to borrow.
Musk’s problems seem to concern this increase in the debt roof, which according to him is financially irresponsible and with the cutting of subsidies in certain sectors such as green energy, which will have a direct impact on its Tesla electric car activity.
“The latest law of the Senate will destroy millions of jobs in America and will cause immense strategic damage to our country,” Musk published recently. “It gives flyers to the industries of the past while seriously give the industries of the future,” he added, in what is apparently a reference to the account that does not give much support to ecological technologies such as electric vehicles.
On a different opportunity, he asked X because he stopped supporting Trump, Musk had said: “By increasing the deficit from an already crazy $ 2T with biden to $ 2.5 t. This will not make the country fail”.
What do we know so far of the American festival?
Apart from his name, not much. Musk said that the two -part system of the United States is essentially a “uniparty”, with similar financial policies that do not represent “80% in the middle”, but has not explained how its party intends to do it or what its ideology or vision is.
On Sunday morning, he republished an X a comment by another user, who said: “This is the platform of the American party? -De the debt, only a responsible expense; -Modernizes the military with AI/robotics; -Pro technology, accelerate everywhere.
Musk has gone from being a democratic supporter to the greatest Trump supporter for now founding a new party, so his political opinions are difficult to define. But he spoke of the need for Americans to have more children and that the government does not interfere too much in the way the industries grow.
How can the American party be a real contender in the elections?
Musk’s plans are ambitious. When an X user asked if he intends to start competing in the presidential elections of 2028 or the medium -term elections next year, he said “next year”.
Speaking of his battle plans, he said, on several occasions, “the way we break the Uniparty system is to use a variant of how Epaminondas has broken the myth of Spartan’s invincibility in Leuttra: extremely concentrated force in a precise position on the battlefield”; And “one way to perform on this would be the focus laser on only 2 or 3 seats of the Senate and from 8 to 10 districts of the Chamber. Given the thin legislative margins, which would be enough to serve as a decisive vote on controversial laws, ensuring that people were served.”
Epaminondas was a Greek general who defeated the superior Spartan army through two innovative tactics. The spartan army elite unit was on the right side of its battle formation. Epaminondas went with an asymmetrical military training, preparing all its best warriors on the left side and making those columns of soldiers deeper than usual. On the right side, he maintained his weakest troops, but at the corner, so that they did not meet the Spartans first. Therefore, the concentrate of the left wing could break through the Spartans, defeating them before they could understand what was going on.
Musk seems to say that the candidates of his party will strategically fight from the electoral colleges that promise the best returns and win the seats enough to support the bills they oppose.
Although Musk’s enormous wealth makes many things possible, all this is easier to say than to do.
The American political structure favors the two -part system and it is difficult for new arrivals to break through. Many, like the green party, the libertarian party, etc., have tried.
To combat elections at national level, a new party must register at the Federal Electoral Commission, only after which can spend money on a certain limit on electoral activities. Musk’s party has yet to register.
In addition, states have their own rules and for the presidential candidate of a party that appear on the vote in all 50 states, must meet the requirements of each state individually. All this requires basic presence and patience. Whatever Musk’s personal charm – and wealth – creating a party organization of this reach is not easy.
In addition, Musk was born in South Africa, so he cannot apply for the president. The billionaire will not only have to create a party, but also a sufficient stature presidential candidate, before his wealth can ban the candidate’s campaign.
