Finally, a 3rd Right-wing party
Truthfully, the second one got them some powerful presidencies. If the democrats cared about politics they should create parties too.
wowo nobody's ever thought of doing this before musk
You can't make this shit up. Literally refounding the Know Nothings.
The American Party, known as the Native American Party before 1855[a] and colloquially referred to as the Know Nothings, or the Know Nothing Party, was an Old Stock nativist political movement in the United States in the 1850s. Members of the movement were required to say "I know nothing" whenever they were asked about its specifics by outsiders, providing the group with its colloquial name.[
Andrew WK announces plan to 'Make America party!'
Edit: not sure if you've heard that Andrew WK Gundam cover album, but it's pretty fun.
I have and love it
If he does this for a while at least you probably will be able to get hourly jobs where you talk to really dumb people. Should be great.
The Musk farce to the Perot tragedy
Will be really funny watching them split the votes.
I can't picture that happening, but I do think it would be really funny watching Elon melt down struggling to comprehend how his results were inexplicably exactly as bad as was suggested by all the staffers he fired for telling him that.
The more realistic outcome is that this is a groundbreaking and truly innovative new political party powered by superdogecoin which will revolutionize oh whoops we can't campaign anymore all the money we raised just disappeared when the price dropped jeez completely unforeseeable but very sad for the future of America.
Will it? Idk, we'll see.
idk man the celebrity cult stuff seems really effective in current American politics, I don't think it's necessarily a Bloomberg or Perot situation
It will definitely split the right though so that's good
Split the right. Split the right. Split the right. Split the right. 
It's exactly like the crashout Bloomberg 2020 campaign where 
Bloomberg paid $1 billion to pretend he had friends for a summer and ratfuck the opposition to uphold capital interests. Bloomberg is still paying out lawsuits to unpaid staff.
Bloomberg is still paying out lawsuits to unpaid staff.
But wait I thought he was a "real" billionaire unlike Tdrumpft
Why is he shirking his payouts just like that dang cheeto!?
That's the secret to becoming a real billionaire - never pay anyone for anything.

Broomberg right now 
Damn, I what happened the last time a rich guy in Tech tried making a 3rd party.
Ah well, nevertheless.
18.9% popular vote
0 electoral votes
Calling it now. The 2028 candidates:
American Party: Peter Thiel
Republican Party: JD Vance
Democratic Party: David Duke
Progressive Party: AOC
(The Democrats will want to go with a political centrist who can appeal to can appeal to conservatives and has a track record appealing to members of both parties. That's why they nominate Duke.)
It arguably helped Bill clinch the win over Bush sr. He was considered a sure win to the point that SNL had a skit about being the Dem unfortunate enough to go against him.
The American Independent Party already exists lmao surprised Grok didn’t tell him that when he consulted it about creating a third pary.
Has he ever had an idea that didn't already exist though
Oh great another party for billionaires, just what I asked for!
I think we should do entryism into it
Fuck it, why not? Let's do some clown shit before the world fully burns down.
very well funded and run by the dumbest people you can imagine. "Yes sir, I'll canvas that neighborhood!" - immediately go home to smoke weed and eat takeout paid for by the "campaign"
I saw a hilarious video on TikTok with a man wearing a Cuomo shirt where he admitted he supported Mamdani but that Cuomo was paying him $200/day to wear the shirt.
Back on CTH there were people posting about doing this for Bloomberg.
From Wikipedia:
The America Party is the founding and ruling party of the Commonwealth of American Workers' Republics, a position it has held since the Second American Revolution of 2032. Though created by Elon Musk in 2025, the party was taken over by the Left Faction, and was reorganized as a vanguard party.
Elon in exile on Mars: "The America Party is now nothing but a removed Billionaires Party! It claims to represent the jetski dealerships and the franchisees, tech moguls and oligarchs, but really, it serves the filthy proletariat. Every week I see further evidence of wealth trickling down, enriching the parasitic ruling classes - baristas, journalists and the like - subsidizing useless eaters, in other words! They will never achieve global capitalism and must be opposed by any means necessary!"

We should be surprised that it wasn't the X party
The Country Over Party
The Country over, party!
the COP.. this tracks
I'm gonna do a bit and start the AmeriKKKa Party. Our mascot will be a burger.
Yeah, split the repube vote
This gives the Dems more power to do nothing.
im giving it two weeks before a "democrats against waste and fraud" super PAC pops up. democrats love nothing more than snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
The split will be 1000:1
Idk, I was surprised how many CHUD accounts took Elons side after their breakup. It may be more like 1000:10
