Musk, MAGA and Trump
Digest more
Elon Musk wants to build a new political party to challenge's America's two-party system. But it won't be easy, even for the world's richest man.
Don’t get me wrong. I loathe Elon Musk just as much as I loathe Donald Trump. Indeed, given his apparent lurch over the last 24 hours, via his AI Grok bot, from mere longstanding sympathy to fascism into flat-out pro-Hitlerism, I’m open to the proposition that Musk is more loathsome than Trump.
However, despite reports that Musk had already filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission Sunday to establish his so-called “America Party,” the billionaire took to his social media platform to shut them down. “This filing is false and has been reported as such to the FEC,” Musk wrote.
The fallout between Elon Musk and Donald Trump came as no surprise to those who have worked closely with the individuals, such as OpenAI's Sam Altman.
