Donald Trump and Elon Musk have been on a rather interesting ride the last few months.
They were best buds for a while, then had a public feud, but something just happened that has me believe Musk could be looking to bury the hatchet again.
According to reports, a PAC backed by Musk just made a rather huge investment to tout the benefits of the Trump-backed BBB.
After Musk left the administration, he did not hold back on his criticism of the megabill.
He stated, “The latest Senate draft bill will destroy millions of jobs in America and cause immense strategic harm to our country!?"
He later added, “Utterly insane and destructive. It gives handouts to industries of the past while severely damaging industries of the future.”
This started the feud between Trump and Musk, which was aired out over social media and in the news.
As part of the fallout, Musk stated that he was going to start a new political party called the America Party.
Musk released his game plan with the announcement, which was that he would target just a handful of seats in the House and one or two key Senate seats, which would give his new party leverage in legislative battles yet to come.
Third parties have never succeeded in this country, but there is a unique environment in politics right now that has left a lot of people on the outside looking for a new home.
I really liked Musk’s strategy, and if he were able to stick to it, I think he would have a shot at success in making the most out of only a few seats. But again, can the party get the grip it would need, even in just a few races?
Building America’s Future (BAF), a political action committee (PAC) backed by billionaire Elon Musk, just dropped a bit of a bombshell in the form of spending more than $1 million to tout the BBB.
The group bought ad space on Fox News, and it will be airing an ad titled “Independence.”
The ad copy will reportedly read, “This Independence Day, President Trump and Congress made the working family tax cuts law. Freeing Americans from taxes on their tips and overtime, doubling the child tax credit, and cutting taxes for seniors. Republicans know that our country is better off when working families keep more of what they earn. Now, they will.”
This is Musk’s money, so the natural assumption is that the tech mogul has effectively tossed the idea of a third party, and he is now getting back on the Trump Train, or at least his money is. This was completely unexpected, so we are going to have to keep an eye on Musk’s X account for some hints as to where he will fall in the midterm election cycle and beyond.
