Media: Starting a new party in the US may be harder than sending people to Mars
According to the U.S. "New York Times," creating a new political party in the United States that can compete with the Democratic and Republican parties may be more difficult and costly than sending humans to Mars.
On July 5, Musk announced the establishment of his own party and named it "The America Party." According to the registration records of the U.S. Election Commission, he officially submitted the party's registration documents the next day. U.S. President Trump said he was sorry to see his former ally "go off the rails."
The report said: "It may be difficult and expensive to create a new, vibrant party that can compete with the Democratic and Republican parties. Therefore, it is not surprising that no one has achieved this goal. Establishing a new national political party in the United States may be harder than sending humans to Mars."
The report pointed out that there have been multiple attempts to break the two-party system in the United States over the past few decades, but all ended in failure.
At the end of June, due to opposing Trump's proposed bill to cut federal spending while offering significant tax benefits, Musk once again proposed establishing a new political party in the United States, saying that the current country is "a one-party system." When responding to entrepreneurs' criticism of the bill, Trump said that without subsidies, Musk would have to "close his stores and return to South Africa."
