Elon Musk founded the "America Party", and American experts pointed out directly that it will not last more than ten years.
On July 5 local time, the world's richest person and famous entrepreneur Elon Musk announced the establishment of the "America Party" and promised freedom to the American people.
Musk is a man of his word and never shirks his responsibilities. Even when the third party, the Free Party of America, extended an olive branch, Musk did not waver and still established his own party. However, American experts directly pointed out that in the United States, political parties cannot last more than ten years. The reasons are as follows:
First, although Musk established the new party "America Party" for voting, over 1.08 million accounts participated in the vote, with 64.4% of netizens choosing "yes" and 35.6% choosing "no", but this is only ordinary citizens, which does not represent the official side.
Second, money alone cannot successfully establish a third party. In the United States, there have been previous examples. Ross Perot, a wealthy businessman, received nearly 19% of the popular vote in the 1992 election, but failed to win a single electoral vote. Recently, the "Forward Party" founded by Chinese-American entrepreneur and former presidential candidate Andrew Yang has gained attention, but it is difficult to attract support. These examples, although they do not have as much money as Musk, are all billionaires.
Third, there are currently two major parties in the United States, the Democratic Party and the Republican Party, as well as the Green Party and the Libertarian Party. The latter two parties cannot challenge the status of the first two. It is not about lack of money, but the law and economy cannot achieve it.
Fourth, both the Green Party and the Libertarian Party extended an olive branch to Musk, which could reduce the process of starting a party. Because creating a party requires the decision of the U.S. Congress. The existing parties are the best way. However, Musk still created the "America Party," because he wants his own party to be free from criticism and constraints.
Fifth, many wealthy people establish parties because they are dissatisfied with the current parties and want to stir up trouble. Most strategies are like bees stinging people, and after stinging, they die. Once a third party becomes strong, the Democratic and Republican parties will suppress it. The most successful "third party" can maintain itself for ten years, which is very good. It will collapse within less than ten years.
Musk's establishment of the "America Party" has the core goal of attracting young people to engage in technological innovations such as artificial intelligence. It may not necessarily run for president, because Musk is not qualified to run for president. Therefore, it was established to show off against Trump. The conflict between capitalists is not about anything other than interests.
