He has not wasted time. On Friday, National Day, Musk publishes a survey about X asking their subscribers if they want to leave the “bipartite system.” A majority responds “yes.” The next day, the businessman announced the creation of the “América Party”. It arises as a savior of the nation. This party “is created to make your freedom,” he says.
Your ad is produced in the context of intense tensions with Donald Trump. The entire world attended the honeymoon of the two men, then their stormy divorce. And obviously, the time of revenge rang for the chief of Tesla, who attacked him virulently in recent weeks in the “great and beautiful law” of the US president. He also uses the argument of an upcoming agravation of the debt to justify his initiative.
A “ridiculous” project
Donald Trump reacted quickly. He believes that all this is “ridiculous”, that musk has “derailed.”
But is it really “ridiculous”? Not so much. Many Americans would like to get out of the current system. Democrats and Republicans have reigned without sharing the political life of the country for more than a century. A credible alternative has not emerged since then.
The most recent effort to create a third party dates back to the latest presidential elections. The “No tags” movement sought to offer an alternative to Trump and Biden.
He failed, but when Trump says “it never worked,” he is wrong. In 1992, another billionaire, who also had a favorite objective of the budget deficit, had presented himself to the presidential elections. Ross Perot had won 19% of the votes. Many still believe today that it was because of their fault that Bush lost to Clinton.
Texan had played the spoilport and that is surely what Elon Musk does. He knows that he has the power to divert a certain number of votes.
Divide Republicans
Not being born in the United States, it cannot appear to the presidential elections. According to the Constitution, only a “birth citizen” can claim the supreme function. On the other hand, it can be a candidate in the House of Representatives or in the Senate, but this is not the goal. Ambition is rather interrupting the mid -period elections.
The richest man in the world does not reveal any program at the moment. If the administration in its place does it as if it were a non -event, the project is far from leaving it insensitive.
The secretary of the Treasury, Scott Besent, believes that the administrative boards of Tesla and Spacex should “encourage the” entrepreneur “to focus on their commercial activities, not on their political activities.” Some see it as a febrile sign.
