After faltering in his plan to found a new ‘America Party’, the world’s richest person is returning to the GOP fold

In the aftermath of his spectacular falling out with Donald Trump last year, Elon Musk blasted the Republican Party as a corrupt force that was “bankrupting” the United States of America.

But now, after months in the political wilderness, the volatile tech baron has indicated that he will once again devote his enormous fortune to electing GOP politicians, this time ahead of the midterm elections in 2026.

“America is toast if the radical left wins,” declared Musk on X Thursday. “They will open the floodgates to illegal immigration and fraud. Won’t be America anymore.”

    They don’t exist because they’re not doing very much, not because a list can’t be made. Please don’t make false claims in a civil discussion, there’s no need for that.

    I don’t have to make a list to please you, it’s crazy but I don’t work for you or anything. Perhaps read about other representatives around the world and in the USA, and how they stood up to their power mongers. So many ways, come on you can think of ten right now. Make a list for me.

    Yeah, Rs and Ds swap every few years, that’s what they do. That’s all they do. What do you expect them to do? If they toppled the other party, they would immediately collapse. This only works if there is a constant “scapegoat” to blame, with two easily defined sides (like for example theological and secular).
