Crazy Eddie Musk

Musk is another Ross Perot!
"Suddenly, Republicans’ Lead Is Gone”: GOP Pollster Describes How Musk’s America Party Changes Midterms
I never trusted Musk. Now I have good reason. He has to know this will hand power to the Democrats,who will reverse EVERYTHING he did.
FTA:
Siphon off just one or two percent and the Democrats take Congress, and with that everything evil comes right back; they will restore every program Trump slashed, will restart the investigations, the lawfare, the whole nine yards. Musk is looking to be not just a spoilerbuta despoiler of all America.
Right now unity is more important than anything else. I've long flirted with third party, and in fact thought at one time it might be worth doing to wake the GOOP,but now is not the time. We are getting most of what we want and to throw that away in search of all we want is beyond stupid. There needs to be a new term for that level of idiocy.
The Left would never make that mistake, at least not until now.
In the Larry Niven/Jerry Pournelle S-F novels "The Mote in God's Eye" and the sequel "The Gripping Hand" the alien Moties have a polemic tale about Crazy Eddie,the guy who does the very wrong thing at the most critical of times. Musk has gone Crazy Eddie.
And if we lose this midterm we lose it all. THIS is our last hope, our final chance before it all falls apart.
If Musk is unhappy with the OBcubed law he should primary those who voted for it - but within the GOP. Taking his ball and going home is just not a reasonable option. Of course Musk is losing a fortune in EV subsidies for Tesla, and that may well be the main impetus for him in this. He's going scorched-Earth. Watch for him to cozy up with the Democrats soon.
America stands at a precipice. Crazy Eddie Musk wants us all to jump off the cliff.

"Suddenly, Republicans’ Lead Is Gone”: GOP Pollster Describes How Musk’s America Party Changes Midterms

Republican pollster Kristen Soltis Anderson said on CNN Monday that the emergence of Elon Musk’s America Party could upend Republicans’ slim advantage in the upcoming midterm elections.
Musk said he’s launching a third political party. He also said that "when it comes to bankrupting” the country "with waste & graft, we live in a one-party system, not a democracy.” During an appearance on "The Arena,” Anderson said Musk’s new political project is quietly eroding the GOP’s midterm edge and threatens to siphon off just enough voters to tip the balance in key battlegrounds.
"But, interestingly, we‘ve been talking about the Elon Musk of it all. I asked voters in some recent polling who would you vote for in the midterm, Republican or Democrat? Republicans are actually slightly ahead on that question, even though we‘ve talked about, oh, [what] the Big Beautiful Bill is going to do. Republicans are still in good shape, I think, heading into that midterm over a year from now,” Anderson said.
"But when we add the America Party in as an option, it doesn‘t do very well. But suddenly Republicans’ lead is gone. Just a couple of points here and there on the edges. But this is a game of inches to try to win the House or hang on to the Senate.”
Anderson said the GOP can’t afford to lose even a sliver of its base heading into a midterm cycle defined by turnout battles. She said that disaffected MAGA voters aren’t likely to back Democrats but could still cause damage by staying home or drifting elsewhere
