I did Nazi that coming.

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 69 points 2 weeks ago

America party

with this kind of creativity is anyone surprised that the cybertruck was so successful and universally loved? true genius savant

The GOP and Democratic sychophants wish that they had renamed their party this first.

[-] floo@retrolemmy.com 12 points 2 weeks ago

At least he didn’t call the X party

[-] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago

Twas probably a close second.

named after the US Nazi party.

"America first party"

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

America first has long been the GOP's motto anyway. you don't need separate parties; they're all the same.

“Time for a new political party that actually cares about the people,” he said.

Yes, because Musk is the first person that comes to mind whenever "actually cares about the people" is mentioned. 🤮

“It is obvious with the insane spending of this bill, which increases the debt ceiling by a record FIVE TRILLION DOLLARS that we live in a one-party country – the PORKY PIG PARTY!!” Musk said Monday. 

“Time for a new political party that actually cares about the people,” he said.

This shit is hilarious. So he didn’t like the bill because it didn’t make enough cuts? Or is it that it provided too much money for ICE? Either way, he will have plenty of new party members. Stupid people eat this shit up.

He's just trying to apease the frustrated to get a voter base... But the real plan here is to dilute the democratic voter base even further cementing the republicants to stay in power.

If those party comes in 2nd, he'll just conceed and give his votes to the Republican candidate.

If they win, then hell just cozy up to Republicans anyway.

Remember RFK Jr when he ran as independent.

This is THE PLAN

[-] SayJess 5 points 2 weeks ago

Damn, I had not considered that. I should have known that this was yet another ploy to keep fascism in power. I mean, after the Nazi salute, I should have kept that in mind when examining why he does what he does.

[-] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 weeks ago

Aren't most US elections FPTP? If so, during the election he'll split the right vote which boosts Democratic/other candidate's chances. If they get a few senators elected with Democrats getting fewer than a majority, then for sure the plan would work as you described it.

I think it's because it ended EV rebates or something? I try not to follow too closely.

[-] Nay@feddit.nl 19 points 2 weeks ago

Hopefully this will be like a first up tech startup where they are super successful for a while, then someone else comes along and does it better.

[-] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 41 points 2 weeks ago

Hopefully it'll act as a spoiler against the republican candidate, opening the door for a progressive party to also form without causing a far-right candidate to get elected.

[-] adespoton@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 weeks ago

Yang was a Democrat though.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 weeks ago

Was he really, though?

Pretty sure he was always just a libertarian wearing a blue hat..

[-] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 weeks ago

I'm hoping we get ranked choice voting more widespread because of it.

Elon Musk can't start shit.

The only successes Musk has are when he buys out a leadership position, like Tesla (sued in court to become an official founder).


Andrew Yang is the one to keep an eye out here. Musk has the money but I'm expecting Yang to do the heavy lifting.

[-] madlian@lemmy.cafe 5 points 2 weeks ago

Still on that yang train eh? Why do people love rich people? Lmfao

[-] dragontamer@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I'm not on YangGang and I never liked that guy.

But it's clear that this new party is Elon Money + Andrew Yang right now. This is somewhat worrying as Yang was a Democrat (albeit one that couldn't win any primary and never reached critical mass, but a Democrat nonetheless). So there's political power here that we need to consider as part of the equation

It gives Elon political cover and makes him look independent and looking like he's splitting the Democrats. So we can't fall for it but people out there will fall for it.

[-] madlian@lemmy.cafe 4 points 2 weeks ago

Lots of politicians ran under the democrat banner and then switched. What’s that one dude who wore the hoodie and had the stroke and then turned out to be fucking insane? My guess is the stroke wasn’t what made him a republican.

Anyone who possesses the kind of money that they possess, even Yang, are only in it for themselves and their cronies. They all, metaphorically laugh at us in the back room and Yang and Elon just came up with this fun plan to be the next person to dance in front of the crowd.

I think that is why they are afraid of AOC. She didn’t come from money. Sure she’s been able to make some cash speaking and stuff like that but she’s never gonna have hundreds of millions dollars. I would argue that she probably doesn’t want that kind of money anyway.

[-] dragontamer@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

His staffers were literally crying and large numbers of reports are that he is a changed man after the stroke. Its uncommon, but it happens. Brain damage can result in personality shifts.

He's some Pennsylvania Politician, I forget his name but maybe a Senator.

Anyone who possesses the kind of money that they possess, even Yang, are only in it for themselves and their cronies.

Well yes. But that's traditional American Politics and its been like that for a long time. People prefer the devil they know (money / greed) rather than other vices.

If anything, being openly greedy makes people more comfortable with the personality.

[-] GreenMartian@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 weeks ago

that one dude who wore the hoodie and had the stroke and then turned out to be fucking insane

I hate this timeline. Living across the Pacific, I actually know about Fetterman.

An Australian shouldn't know the names of so many American politicians. But it's hard when y'all are trying to out-crazy each other every second day.

I couldn't even name our current speaker of the house, yet I can identify Mike Johnson whenever his mug shows up in the news. This is truly the dumbest timeline.

Small correction - he started SpaceX, and that company is wildly successful. That's mostly due to the incredible leadership of Gwynne Shotwell; but Musk did actually start that company.

That shouldn't detract from your point, though, because AFAIK that's the only successful company that he personally started

If it puts the hyper racist conservatives against the conservatives who tolerate the hyper racist conservatives I'm all for it.

[-] Catma@lemmy.world 19 points 2 weeks ago

He is 100% not going to do anything. Oh he may say he will but they will never field a single candidate and support Republicans to the hilt. This is at best a way for him to grift

[-] brendansimms@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

the tesla revenue stream is drying up - gotta find a new source

[-] chunes@lemmy.world 18 points 2 weeks ago

I wonder what his party's stance is on taxing the rich.

[-] dan1101@lemmy.world 18 points 2 weeks ago

I just want to see him actually keep his word and keep Republicans who voted for the big bill from getting reelected.

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago

American Nazi Party. Now that somehow brings up a New Order to the political game, doesn't it?

[-] 0x01@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 weeks ago

With blackjack and hookers, no doubt

[-] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 weeks ago

Hookers and ketamine.

“It is obvious with the insane spending of this bill, which increases the debt ceiling by a record FIVE TRILLION DOLLARS that we live in a one-party country – the PORKY PIG PARTY!!” Musk said Monday. 

If you just want a small-government party, there's already the Libertarian Party.

2.4 Government Finance and Spending

Since all persons are entitled to keep the fruits of their labor, we oppose all government activity that consists of the forcible collection of money or goods from individuals in violation of their individual rights and strive for the eventual repeal of all taxation. To further that end, we call for the repeal of the income tax, the abolishment of the Internal Revenue Service and all federal programs and services not required under the U.S. Constitution. We oppose forcing employers to serve as tax collectors. We support any initiative to reduce or abolish any tax, and oppose any increase on any tax for any reason. To the extent possible, we advocate that all public services be funded or allowed to be provided in a voluntary manner.

2.5 Government Debt

Government should not incur debt, which burdens future generations without their consent. We support the passage of a “Balanced Budget Amendment” to the U.S. Constitution, provided that the budget is balanced exclusively by cutting expenditures, and not by raising taxes.

Don't think they'd be onboard with your anti-trans thing, though.

1.4 Personal Relationships

Sexual orientation, preference, gender, or gender identity should have no impact on the government’s treatment of individuals, such as in current marriage, child custody, adoption, immigration, or military service laws. Government does not have the authority to define, promote, license, or restrict personal relationships, regardless of the number of participants. Consenting adults should be free to choose their own sexual practices and personal relationships. Until such time as the government stops its illegitimate practice of marriage licensing, such licenses must be granted to all consenting adults who apply.

Musk caused a lot of problems mainly while he was being self serving. He fired a lot of FAA leadership and mass laid off air traffic controllers. He wanted to steal a contract from Verizon for SpaceX. Aircraft incidents increased almost immediately. DOGE also led cuts at NOAA which NWS relies on. There was a surprise tornado in the midwest a couple of months ago and flash flood in Texas. These events claimed lives. I blame Musk. Musk is at least partially responsible for Trump gaining power whether he hacked vote tabulations or not.

There could not be a worse bad actor to be involved in our politics. I like the idea of a centrist party but want Musk to not be involved at all.

[-] brendansimms@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Musk and Centrist Party cannot be used in the same sentence. Dude is a nazi.

Does this mean he doesn't need political donations?

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

No thanks, Nazi.

Wonder how many losers who didn't vote or voted 3rd party will split the vote for Elon, ensuring continued Republican destruction.

[-] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

The rent is too damn high!

[-] ABetterTomorrow@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

And there it is, the name/term “American” is forever negative.
