Elon Musk angrily called the Republican Party the "fat pig party," and this anger is not about policy differences, but a political split. Musk views the real political world with the mindset of a technical expert, failed to see the situation, oversimplified the problem, invested 270 million dollars, and found out he was raising a group of "pigs." No wonder some people say his political IQ is on par with Han Xin's; the essence of American politics is the distribution of interests, not the practice of ideals and beliefs.
The surface conflict in this matter is that his new energy vehicle project is not favored by Trump. The "Big Beautiful" Act mainly targets new energy, and also expands the federal debt ceiling, which is completely opposite to his performance when he worked at the U.S. "NDRC" where he focused on cutting budgets. This led to a rift with Trump, but the real issue is the significant disagreement among American tech elites on how to accelerate abandoning the American people using artificial intelligence as a tool.
Musk does not represent an individual; he is the representative of the entire Silicon Valley tech capital group. These people believe that artificial intelligence will inevitably replace humans, and the wealth generated by robots will increasingly concentrate in the hands of the rich, leaving no opportunity for ordinary people to participate in production, and the production and distribution of wealth have nothing to do with ordinary people.
McKinsey's research suggests that by 2030, 800 million jobs worldwide will be replaced by artificial intelligence. What will happen to these 800 million people? That's the problem. The "Big Beautiful" Act is accelerating the abandonment of these people, while Musk's lack of political acumen leads him to only put forward unrealistic slogans, such as landing on Mars or having 5,000 children. However, when he said he would form a "American Party," it became interesting. Parties established in July are usually capable of doing big things.
