Well now…
Perot had money and he tried it. Will it succeed this time? Can Musk pull it off?
Who will join him? I have some thoughts.
If it’s still around in '28, who will it hurt?

It seems like a continuation of things to not like about Elon. Not even sure if he’s serious or still in disgruntled billionaire mode. Dems will do something he doesn’t like and it’s back to “I must stand with the GOP and defeat them.”

Mmmmm. Could be. But I like establishment disruptors.
I dont think this can be compared to what Perot did in 1992 and in 1996.

In todays terms when Perot ran for President he was worth just under $7 billion. Musk is worth about $400 billion. Musk has infinitely more resources than Perot had.

Society has been transformed since 1996. Musk can communicate a political message instantly. The political landscape is vastly different as well. Not only changed by the internet but by Trump.
Musk has the financial means to buy any candidate he wants and provide them with the resources to create a ground game that dwarves anything the dems or reps can do.
Now the big question is will he be successful? I have no idea.

From what I have read he wants to create a truly centrist party (or so he says) to attract both dems and reps to his tent
Musk is a political illiterate…

You were not saying that a few months ago. He was the darling of the right. The man who with Trump was going to save America.
I and others predicted this very situation with Musk and Trump would occur and maga would turn on him. Though looking at Trumps track record it was not exactly a difficult prediction to make.
Musk has never had many friends, never been popular so when he suddenly found himself becoming part of the Trump tribe it went to his head and he revelled in his sudden popularity.

I might vote for his party.
The main (only?) reason I voted Trump this time around was becasue the Dems kept trying to put him and all his associates and allies in jail.
That can never, I repeat, NEVER be allowed.

Is that like being a free speech absolutist?
He knows that if we don’t hold the R’s feet to the fire they will spend us into bankruptcy just as fast (or faster) than the D’s.
He’s certainly got the money to try it.
Musk has Democrats and Trump supporters mad at him. Now he’s going after what is left. Who would be willing to run as his puppet?
He had a well deserved reputation for his technical and business talents. If I the richest person in the world, I hope I could find something better to do,than destroy what was left of my reputation.

In fact I’ve said couple times now that he’s political illiterate.

As for this…I’m going to guess you’re right. The guy is a oddball.
Then that is just was you’re going to get…D’s. Along with there open border, forced mandates, censorship, green energy and electric cars and stoves etc.
So make sure you know your pronouns or whatever you ■■■■■■■ call em.
Oh and still high deficit spending.
Except Obama deported more than Trump and added more to the deficit than any other president so…
Some people have no idea what they’re talking about.
