Backing a candidate for president is not out of the question, but the focus for the next 12 months is on the House and the Senate — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 6, 2025
Is this the payback? The rate cuts aren’t working and that can only mean more of them. The best current examples are to north and south of the US where rolling over has taken on a new sense of urgency, especially since both are, at the margins, a proxy for American demand.
New party buzz grows Elon says system no longer works… A 40% openness to new parties reflects voter frustration with D.C.’s broken system—endless spending, zero accountability.

What does America get in return for bombing a country that never attacked us & wasn’t a threat to us?
