According to a new poll, 57% of male Republicans say they are likely to support Elon Musk’s “America Party”
Almost half of voters said they are likely to support a new political party proposed by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, according to fresh polling.
A Quantus Insights survey released Wednesday found that 40% of voters said they would be likely to back Musk’s “America Party,” which aims to serve voters disillusioned with both Republicans and Democrats. Musk shared the poll’s results on X, calling the results “Encouraging.”
Musk first pitched a new political party in early June after he clashed with Donald Trump over the GOP’s multi-trillion-dollar tax and spending bill.
I definitely would not support any party created by that fuckhead. It will just be another douchebag conservative shitshow.
Neither would I. But! It would split the conservative vote and also force the Democrats to listen to the voters! If it ended “first past the post” voting, it would be incredibly good for this country and the world…
Or, Democrats do what they do best – not listen to their voters – and the new party comes to power by merging the Nationalists that are in Musk’s camp with the Socialists that the Democrats always ignore. Maybe they’ll even merge those two names together to describe the new party…
I’d like to remain more hopeful in that the first past the post standard collapses and that means we socialists get to do democrats 2.0 in the same way musk wants Republicans 2.0
Cynically that means that the spoiler effect might actually work in our favor if he does go through with it. I’m not gonna hold my breath for it, but it would be so funny if Musk’s ego actually leads to the Republican party splitting and losing because they can’t decide how many poor people and minorities they want to throw into a wood chipper.
