Elon is Just Being Elon. So, Who Cares?

Elon Musk is threatening to launch a third party if the Congress dares to ignore him and pass Trump's Big Beautiful Bill!  And we're shocked why?  There were many, including me, who believed the day would come when he would be a serious problem for Trump.  Why? Because he's Elon Musk, and unlike Sir Thomas More, "A man for all Seasons", Elon Musk is a "man for no seasons", and a man for whom I've had little respect.  

I consider him to be a massively self serving con artist, feeding at the government's subsidy trough on electric cars, and even promoting global warming.  Elon Musk has been touting this Mars expedition for some time, and it just ain't gonna happen, and while I don't know where the funding would come from, I'm betting it's just another opportunity to feed at the government subsidy trough.  As my friend John Ray noted, "he is a brilliant fundraiser off governments, State and Federal."  As for me, I think he's a strange man, and I think he's a bit nuts.  A man who thrives on and lusts for attention. 

As for a third party headed up by Elon Musk, I don't think it's going to happen.  Who exactly does he think he's going to attract? 

• MAGA voters? That just ain't gonna happen as they're almost universal in their contempt for Musk, many of whom predicted this kind of backstabbing from him.
• Disgruntled Democrats?  That could happen, but just how many are left in the Democrat party who've not already turned to Trump?  A party with it's core solidly Marxist.  You can almost hear those remaining disgruntles saying:  That's it, I've had it, I'm voting for a different Democrat!  How many of them were going to vote for Trump? Few to none, so there's no loss there, but they're never voting for Musk.
• Far left voters.  Not in a million years, they hate Musk.   
• Green party?  Maybe, but if every Green party member joined him they would be just as ineffective and meaningless as they are now. 
• Libertarians?  Maybe, but Libertarian members are mostly ideologues, and I think a bit strange. Their impact on American elections has been meaningless.  Joining Musk won't make them meaningful, and they know it.  
• Never Trumpers?  They're numbers are also meaningless, and their influence is non existent, like John Kasich, Liz Chaney, George Will, and Bill Kristol.  No one listens to them, and no one cares what they have to say.  Just like their fellow RINO's, as in disgusted Republicans who are false conservatives versus real conservatives, they already weren't voting for Trump or any other real conservative anyway, so there would be no lost votes there or for that matter, in any of these categories.  

History, and the cultures they're departing are against them and the American culture won't support them!  You have to have the numbers to be a politically important movement,  even if some of those numbers are offensive to the touch.  He doesn't have the skills necessary to bring diverse groups together, and since the left is treating this as a war of conquest and destruction of American capitalism and democracy, that makes it a real war, and we need to understand they are the enemy of the American identity, the American culture, the American economy and the U.S. Constitution, and any attempt by Musk to undermine Trump and the MAGA movement will be viewed as supporting a movement that wants to destroy the nation.  

Finally, recruitment and strategic thinking requires goals, and Elon Musk has no determinable goals, nor does he have definable policies that he would install in place of Trump's.  So, Elon is just being Elon, and as my mother used to say, "this falls under the category of who gives a crap", only she didn't say crap.
