Elon Musk suggested that a third political party, which has called the “América Party”, will have a significant influence on the Senate and the House of Representatives with close republican margins, since it aspires to form a competitor party after breaking with the Republican Party for the draft emblematic policy bill of President Donald Trump.
Key data
Musk tweeted a survey to his followers of X asking them if they want “independence of the bipartisan system (some would say unipartisan).”
In a later tweet, he said: “A way to execute this would be to concentrate on only 2 or 3 seats from the Senate and 8 to 10 districts of the House of Representatives,” and pointed out that the party could have a significant influence with a close majority that “would be sufficient to serve as a decisive vote in controversial laws, ensuring that they serve the true will of the people.”
Friday’s tweets are Musk’s latest threats this week to form a new political party, while fighting with the Republicans for the Trump emblematic policy bill that was approved in the Chamber on Thursday: “If this draft bill of insane spending is approved, the US party will be formed the next day,” he wrote on Monday.
Large number
55%. That is the proportion of Americans who have an unfavorable opinion of Musk, compared to the 37% that has a positive opinion, according to a panel of the Bulletin silverin of the Nate Silver statistic that adds hundreds of surveys on Musk.
Key history
Musk and Trump have maintained a heated exchange of opinions on Musk’s criticisms to the “Law of the Great and Beautiful Law”, approved by the House of Representatives on Thursday and now goes to Trump’s desk for his signature. Musk, who led the expense measures in the government efficiency department, questioned the law for the 3.3 billion dollars that would add to the deficit in the next 10 years. Trump has responded to Musk’s threats with veiled threats to revoke the government subsidies that his companies receive and to “consider” their deportation.
