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 will open the floodgates to illegal immigration and fraud.

Just a reminder that Elon Musk is an illegal immigrant and a fraud.

    And America without immigrants wouldn't be America anymore, not the other way around.

    I disagree, the Americas were ruined by illegal British, French, Portuguese, Dutch, Danish, Norwegian, Russian, Swedish, and Spanish immigrants.

    Just a reminder that trying to buy an election is normally frowned upon in sane countries.

    I don’t even think that’s the case. He needs the GOP to help him own the world. Without it, he will just be an unfathomably rich person.

    This is it. He knows the Dems might tax him a tiny bit more (an amount he won’t even notice), and he could possibly not win as many no-bid government contracts under them, but he’ll still be incredibly rich and completely above the law. The difference is, with the GOP in charge, he gets to dictate terms.

    He can "donate" as much as he likes, with no restrictions.

    It's not bribery though! See, he just has to make a Super PAC first; they don't have to disclose their source. So it won't officially be Musk dollars. wink wink

    Please note that the one with the most money wins over 90% of the time in our elections.

    You mean HE is toast if the Democrats get the house and senate. America is toast already. You just don't want your enrichment from the corruption to end.

    Elon can take his limp non working dick back to South Africa by way of El Salvador.

    LOL, where is this "radical left"?

    Are any of these "radical left" in the room with us right now?

    I think he's talking more about "any sensible normal American that might regulate my shitty companies".

    This is what he said about the Wisconsin supreme court race

    "I feel like this is one of those things that may not seem that it’s going to affect the entire destiny of humanity, but I think it will,"

    Anyone have an update on the destiny of humanity since his favored candidate lost this race almost a full year ago?

    People should go all in on boycotting all his companies especially Tesla and Twitter.

    Other countries need to cap campaign contributions if they haven't already because Musk has been known to fund the far-right globally.

    Yeah, the radical right is doing a great job running the country. Housing is affordable, groceries are at an all time low, and unemployment is actually at a net negative. They're just giving jobs away at every corner!

    Fuck you, Elon. Eat shit and die. Convince your friend Trump to eat a big bowl as well.

    The amount he will spend will be proportionately far less than the rest of us spend on general insurances. He'll also claim this as a tax deductible. So it gets him further tax savings and keeps him more likely to stay in a position of power and influence. Fuck that. Tax the billionaire class.
