3 big questions about Elon Musk’s third party

While the Republican is largely rejecting the billionaireAlone muscusThe pledge to create a “America party” for now, he can have a headache for GOP in midnarms if he sticks with a new third party building.

There are big questions about the permanent effect of the latest Wim of the billionaire, however – and a lot of doubts of the US party are gaining any living power or meaningful effects,President TrumpOf them,

What is the stage? Will anyone support it? And can it spoil the GOP candidates in midterms?

For analysis, I assume that Kasturi – which only joined in national electoral politics last year will actually pass with creating a new party. (It is not formally built yet;Musk saidA screenshot of a federal Election Commission that aired over the weekend is inhuman.)

What is the stage of America party?

Musk’s enthusiastic opposition for growing national debt is a factor promoting its idea for a third party. And even in the last few days, Musk has responded accepted on the social platform X, the owner of which he is about the rape-like politicians like rape.Thomas Massi(R-Ky.) And President of Argentina Xavier MeeliAnd that isRegenerative pro -content,

What, then, a coalition can be formed with the current Libeterian party?

Liberterian Party National Committee ChairSteven Nikhla Told me – Despite supporting him in 2024, many Libeterians are disappointed in Trump.

In addition to the desire of Musk to solve the national debt, here we can shine based on the posts of Musk based on the stage of the US party: it will happenHug bitcoinThis will support gun rights, say with musk“The second amendment is sacred.”Musk Shared a postSaying that it would support free speech, support technological innovation, reduce energy regulation and support “pronunciation” policies aimed at increasing the birth rate.

But Musk has also indicated that the party may be more concentrated, saying that in “America party solution”Answer a post Logic centralism is now considered radical.

And if the candidates are in support of the Green Energy Tax Incentives – such as the kind of musk opposed the rollback in the “big, beautiful bill” – which can struggle with the principles of the Liberterian party.

Who will support this?

A third major party has long been widespread support, reaching 63 percent support in 2023GallopsurveyBefore returning to 58 percent in 2024.

But it is not clear that the ideas being pushed by Kasturi can catch that comprehensive group.

CNN isHarry entanIt was calculated that voters who prefer Musk and dislike GOP For 4 percent,

And Musk’s signature project in Trump administration,Government efficiency department (Dog), Made politically toxic. March 2025 Fox News PollIt was found that 58 percent of the voters rejected Kasturi working with Dogi.

“Elon claims that they are fighting 80% of people who do not necessarily agree with Republicans or Democrats. And when I think it is a meaningful attempt, I think it is also important to say that the moderates are also the lowest loyal, which they vote they vote,” said the Libeterian party’s thread. “So until they come out with a strong platform that is more than a populist type of platform, it is difficult to say what their components are going to look.”

Can the US party threaten Republican?

So far, the Republican Musk’s US party is not taking the dangers seriously.

Asked About Musk’s America Party Threatening Gop Candidates, One GOP Strategist Texted: “Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.” Another GOP strategist said that the National Republicans are not looking at it as a serious problem, hoping that the base of loyal voters towards Trump would stop any serious challenge.

Musk-supported candidates should not have a real shot to win to give Republican headaches, though. For example, in 2024, Republican saw a large -scale Libeterian party candidates spoiling some races. Rape.Mari kapur(D-Ohio) won 0.64 percent marks, while the Libeterian candidate earned 4.1 percent support in that race; Rape.Don davis(DN.C.) won by 1.7 points, while the Libeterian candidate earned 2.6 percent support.

And Musk is eyeing the midnight, where he can complicate the competitive race. “Supporting a candidate for the President is not out of question, but meditation for the next 12 months is on the House and Senate,” he said Sunday in a post on X,

The first GOP strategist said, “Elon’s time would be better to move to Mars, Starlinks, carries the neurlinks forward, and makes fast cars. Damocrates are not giving an edge.” “This is a step that will backfire on him on a large scale. It was a Democrats who went mad at him a few months ago, when he went mad at him a few months ago. Why did he reward bad behavior with even more power?”

But if Musk is going to pass with a real new party creating a infrastructure instead of supporting independent or other minor-party candidates, then there are many time taking and expensive steps that it has to take: collecting signature to form his party and winning the voting, with needs in every state; Recruitment of candidates; Returning possible cases from major parties challenging ballot access.

Kasturi faced those logical challenges. “Not hard tbh,” They posted,

Masi’s rhetoric ceasefire talks with Trump

Rape. Thomas Masi (R-K.)A rhetoric with the ceasefire withPresident Trump– And when he was initially optimistic that the President would stop attacking him, he could not be clear.

my colleaguesMychael schnellAndMike lilisLast week scooped that in the morning hours, Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill” as a group of Republicans organized priorities to deduct tax and spend, TrumpTalked to a group of holdoutsWhich were preventing the bill from advancing.

Massey, one of those who had “no” on procedural votes to t -up the bill, suggested that he would flip his vote and allow the bill to move forward if Trump – who called Massey to defeat the bill in 2026 – agreed to stop attacking him.

Flipped on the misery procedural vote, but “no” voted on the underlying bill.

Soon after the vote, Massey specifically told me that he was optimistic about his relationship with Trump.

“The President and I had a cordial conversation last night. It turns out that we communicate much better on the phone than us on Twitter,” Massey said. “I think we are going to do better work as we move forward, and in relation to the President, I will let them tell them the specialty of the phone call.”

So, is there a truss?

White House officials did not return me or my colleagues when we asked if Trump had committed to stop Masi from attacking Masi in exchange for his flip.

But perhaps the misery should not be so optimistic. Later in the evening, after the bill passed, Trump on Truth SocialShared a polling memorandumFrom their polsterJohn McLaglinIt was found that the misery would “lose a candidate, who is a staunch supporters of President Trump and 19% of the first agenda of the US.”
