The founding of the “America Party” is a strange and puzzling action by Elon Musk, said to be “the world’s richest man.” Musk himself, born in South Africa, is a naturalized American citizen, so ineligible ever to become president himself.

He made much of his fortune by becoming a contractor to a federal government that he now evidently wants to take over.

Musk professes to be appalled at the growing federal budget deficit manifested by Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” after he himself, as head of “DOGE,” went to all the trouble of exposing trillions of dollars in “fraud, waste, and abuse” on programs that should immediately be jettisoned, along with the millions of people dependent on federal spending for their livelihood. Tens of thousands have already been dumped.

So what is Musk’s strategy?

Well, knowing how difficult it is for a third party to actually gain power under our present constitutional system, Musk will use “AI” to capture just a handful of House and Senate seats—enough to become the tie-breaker on all important legislative decisions. Thus “Boss Musk” will be able to bring the wheels of government operations to a grinding halt whenever he feels like it; whenever he feels, that is, that something proposed will break the bank of which he has made himself the zealous guardian.

So maybe it’s the “America Party” that is the biggest piece of “fraud, waste, and abuse” ever concocted. In terms of genealogy, Musk’s approach resembles Newt Gingrich’s “Contract with America” or the Republican “Tea Party” of the early 2000s, all former “deficit hawks” who consistently failed to propose real alternatives to a system obviously flawed.

None of these worthies seem to understand that the financial system based on government debt was put in place by Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton way back in the 1790s and hasn’t changed substantially since then.

Take away the deficit and the US economy will collapse overnight. Unless, of course, we can implement real monetary reform along the lines of the Kucinich NEED Act of 2011 that we have been promoting on Three Sages since our inception. But that is another story.

In the meantime, the founding of the America Party should make for some good entertainment. Please pass the popcorn.
