President Elon Musk

It's more a rhetorical trick to make you look thoughtful.

Q: "You crashed into a store window while drunk and was afterwards found nearby loudly singing 'Always Crashing in the Same Car' by David Bowie'. Do you have anything to say to the people who look up to you?"

A: "I see now that choosing this song came of as disrespectful, and I apologize for my momentary lapse of judgment".

Let's go!!!!

Hmm.

Does this mean grok is now more right wing?

Probably

Would be a shame if dems (or some of them) somehow welcome him now.
Unfortunately money can buy you a lot of things.

He's got a lot of work to do considering he basically pushed Trump to a guaranteed win.

Don't want Elon. Take Grok though - seems a savvy fellow.

America First Party

Systemic logistical challenges make the viability of any "third party" questionable.

It is already viable in soothing Elons petty spite

If you don't like the two party system as is, even if AF can grab like 10% that's substantial for the dialog.

Reform Party

8.4% is respectable.

Perot, before he formed the "party" got 19% in 1992.

i guess elon is never going away

It seems increasingly obvious to me that Elon got hosed on his deal with Trump and is now scrambling to save ego and save face

He certainly has his own sycophants but hes already almost irrelevant, currently.

Very, but billions can change things especially for Senate seats in small state.

If you spend what all Senate campaigns combined spent in 2024 in a state of a few million people, are we so sure you can't find any very electable person running for you for 100m? 500m? + Expenses of course.

Can very well be a politician of one of the two parties going "independent".

I mean if Murkowsky could win as an independent in 2010 in Alaska why can't Musk buy the Montana seat up for grabs in 2026? The incumbent won only 55-45 in 2020, is he going to stay MAGA if he and his family and his friends can get generational wealth ?

He mentioned he wants to attempt 2-3 senate seats and at most 10 house seats.

It can still be a party with very few representatives if he manages to get some elected. And it can be relevant if the balance of power is very close in those houses.

If at any point he has 2 senators (hard , i understand, but not impossible) he can actually be king-maker.

Imagine a 49-49 senate with 2 Musk senators. Now imagine it's time to pick judges.

Lucy must be taking Musk-levels of K.

The fix didn't work very well

Wh? because i imagine outrageous amounts of money can maybe buy elections in small states?

We know for presidential primaries it doesn't work (see Bloomberg). But it could for senate seats in small states

Any AI post without it's prompt is meaningless.
