Tech billionaire Elon Musk says he has created a new political party in the United States, to challenge what he called the country's one-party system.
On the social platform X, the former ally Donald Trump wrote he was forming the America Party, to give back Americans their freedom. He made the announcement after holding a 24-hour poll on the platform, where the majority voted in favor of the new party. - Aired on 07/05/2025.

II. Strategic Context
A. Legislative Margins
The U.S. Senate currently operates at or near parity (e.g., 5050, 5149 configurations).
The House has experienced sub10 vote majorities over three consecutive election cycles.
In such an environment, even a minor voting bloc can function as a legislative fulcrum.
B. Voter Realignment
Over 42% of American voters now self-identify as independent or non-affiliated.
Approval ratings of both major parties and Congress as a whole remain near historic lows.
There is a demonstrated appetite for competence-based, non-ideological representation.
III. Operational Model
A. Candidate Deployment
Identification of swing districts and moderate Senate races with favorable demographics.
Emphasis on candidates with strong backgrounds in business, technology, governance, or civic leadership.
Use of data-driven, locally embedded campaign infrastructure, not party machines.
B. Independent Caucus Framework
Elected candidates do not join Democratic or Republican caucuses.
All votes cast individually, on merit and measurable impact.
Internal cohesion is maintained via a binding code of principles, not ideological alignment.
C. Institutional Role
The bloc functions as a veto-neutralizer or passage-enabler on major federal legislation.
It has the capacity to initiate, shape, or block policy on issues such as:
Federal spending and debt oversight
Border integrity and immigration reform
Energy and manufacturing strategy
Digital infrastructure and speech policy
Education autonomy and parental rights
IV. Communication and Transparency
All caucus positions will be made public prior to votes.
Members commit to monthly public briefings and district accountability sessions.
A public digital portal will allow constituents to review and provide feedback on pending legislation.
V. Financial and Logistical Integrity
All campaign financing will comply with FEC guidelines, sourced from individual donors and aligned PACs.
No acceptance of corporate lobbying funds or direct party contributions.
Each campaign will publish a real-time expenditure ledger for public review.
VI. Conclusion and Forward Outlook
The Ten-Seat Strategy is not an attempt to subvert democratic institutions, but to reinforce their credibility through measured, public-centered engagement.
It represents a post-partisan, limited-scope corrective, appropriate for a moment in which many citizens feel structurally unheard, yet remain deeply invested in national renewal.
Through minimal representation and maximal transparency, this strategy has the potential to function as a structural safeguard against partisan excess and legislative capture.
Its success will depend on the ability to recruit exceptional individuals, earn the publics trust, and legislate with restraint, precision, and civic clarity.

(653 posts)A billionaire took control of the republic party and look what he's done for himself and the damage he's done/doing to the country.
Does anyone really think a billionaire who spent billions to elect the Orange Turd and do his bidding isn't going to do what's best for himself and what's not in the best interest of the country.
If you buy into Musk's political party then I'll sell you the map to the sunken city of Atlantis and all it's riches.
