    It won’t split the GOP vote, though. Musk already went down this path a few weeks ago and literally every politician sided with Trump. For all the money he has, the only political influence he ever had was through Trump. Nobody in the GOP cared about or even liked the guy beyond that.

      No, you’re right …

      I completely forgot money doesn’t play a roll in the American political system

      /S

      Like, what kind of logic are you using that makes you think money just doesn’t fucking matter?

      Especially in Republican primaries?

      I dunno, maybe there’s some I missed, but what you just said…

        Did you pay any attention to the last time Musk tried this? It was only a couple of weeks ago that he threatened virtually the same thing: To make an anti-Trump conservative party in order to take him on. And the entire GOP basically laughed in his face, many of them openly to the press. Lose the backhanded sarcasm, it’s neither funny nor impressive.

          No, no…

          Clearly you’re right! How the fuck could I think that Republican politicians could be bought*.

          Those great upstanding citizens who always put their personal profit last.
