Opinion | Can Musk And His America Party Rely On 'Vibes'?
The America Party. Is it the birth of a new political force of disruption and even hope in the United States, or just another Independence Day startup with a flag?
While most Americans were busy enjoying fireworks and patriotic ballads on July 4, Elon Musk was hunched over his phone,
obsessing not over liberty but over the results of a poll he posted on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, now moonlighting as his personal megaphone and emotional weather vane.
The question was, should he launch a new political party? The answer, to his delight, was a resounding yes, with nearly two-thirds of 1.2 million respondents cheering him on.
Musk took this as nothing short of divine instruction, promptly declaring the birth of the America Party.
Until recently, billionaires busied themselves buying sports teams or building vanity rockets.
But that looks old-school. Starting your own political party? That's the new superyacht. Musk insists this isn't just a passing whim but a much-needed emancipation from what he calls the “Uniparty”,
his term for the interchangeable swamp monsters that allegedly populate both the Republican and Democratic machines.
