Elon Musk says he will start a new political party
Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Musk has spoken with friends in recent days about his plan for a political party and what it would take to accomplish it, according to a person briefed on those conversations. The discussions have been more conceptual than pragmatic, the person said. Advertisement Even as Musk has proved that he is willing to use his resources to move quickly and dramatically, he also has a long history of not following through on promises. Musk, who helped slash government programs and funding by leading the Department of Government Efficiency before publicly feuding with Trump, had grown incensed by the president's sweeping domestic policy bill. Last month, on social media, he called it a 'disgusting abomination,' adding that it would 'massively increase the already gigantic budget deficit' and that 'Congress is making America bankrupt.' Advertisement For weeks, Musk teased that he would start a new political party if the legislation passed, but he had not explicitly stated his intention to do so until Saturday. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The two-party system has been a defining feature of modern American politics, and plenty of moderate billionaires have dreamed of a successful third-party effort for decades. But the barriers to creating a new, influential political party are plentiful, including heavily gerrymandered districts, deep political polarization and onerous state laws, some of which require expensive and complicated ballot-qualification procedures that would most likely challenge even Musk. Musk donated nearly $300 million to Republican candidates in the 2024 election, and his super political action committee led Trump's get-out-the-vote operation in battleground states. But the tech billionaire failed to deliver the GOP a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat this year, even after putting over $20 million into that race. On Friday, Musk wrote on X that an initial approach could be to back America Party candidates in just two or three Senate races and between eight and 10 congressional races in next year's midterm elections. He reiterated a version of that plan Saturday, saying on X that he would 'crack the uniparty system' through 'extremely concentrated force at a precise location on the battlefield.'

32 American Cultural Quirks That Irritate The World
Reddit user Butterfly-girl19 recently asked, "What elements of US culture annoy you?" Americans and non-Americans alike flooded the replies with the American qualities, habits, and pieces of culture they find the most frustrating. Here's what they shared: "Constantly saying the US is the 'best country in the world.' It's usually said by people who don't even own a passport. And best for what? Medical bankruptcy rates? Incarceration rates? National debt?" "Everything is so bloody commercial. You have a baby coming? Throw a party. You know what the baby's sex is gonna be? Another party! Hey, it's early November, let's start broadcasting Christmas specials already! Sorry, I don't get it." "Not understanding that what many Americans perceive to be far-left is center or center-right everywhere else on earth. The politics of the US is so skewed rightward that anything that isn't effectively 'grind up the poors for meat' is considered communism." "The drinking age. At 18, you can legally go to jail, join the army, and vote on who will run the entire country, but you can't have a beer." "The degree to which so-called 'trickle down economics' still pervades the general approach to the economic and legal systems. Everyone is sitting here being robbed blind by corporations 24/7, and then patting each other on the backs about all the sacrifices we make so that our employers, banks, favorite online retailers, etc. can hit their revenue targets." "The lack of community that is due to dominant car culture. A lot of Americans are very badly socially adjusted because of this atomization. Extremely performative culture. Many Americans act like what they see on TV/internet media. It's tiresome and inhumane. I think this leads to an unacceptably high number of people treating others like sources of entertainment/products. Anti-urbanism, anti-intellectualism, and anti-progressive attitudes are very common. Being reactionary as opposed to critical political discourse due to media overexposure. A lot of Americans, including pretty much all conservatives/MAGA, only care about making the 'other guy' look bad. There are no other thoughts there. That's exactly how our political entertainment networks prime people to think, and it works. As such, there is very little room for critical analysis of our society and how we can improve it. We're totally stymied." "I'm a pretty friendly and sociable dude, but I have genuine disdain for the way Americans will just walk up to you and start a conversation out of the blue. I'm good with small talk and meeting new people, but I couldn't walk two blocks in the US without getting pulled into some kind of interaction. After a dozen conversations, it gets kinda tiring. The worst is when people use you as their captive audience while you're pumping gas or waiting in line. Political freaks are especially fond of this." "I don't know if it's the culture, but people using personal freedom as a reason to ignore social responsibility, e.g., refusing to mask up when they are sick with COVID-19." "Expensive healthcare for life-threatening conditions and insurance companies running loops around why they shouldn't pay your bill, even though they take money out of your check every fuckin' month. And if you're not full-time or work as a contractor, freelancer, or gig fucking luck paying $357 a month for the lowest tier of healthcare insurance. I spent more on health insurance when I was part-time and had to decide between health and car insurance. I ended up going with health, and got into a car accident that I had to pay out-of-pocket for. Then I switched to car insurance and then sprained my ankle, which I also had to pay out of pocket for, in the same fucking year." "Treating political parties like sports teams." "The two-party system." "The 'pull yourself up by your bootstraps' mentality and the entire culture around work while we all work our asses off for people who don't work." "Materialism and the constant advertisements. Buy, buy, buy more crap that really will not make you much happier." "(Many) Universities are associated with athletic programs before academics." "Car dependence. More specifically, designing car-dependent cities, then gaslighting the next generation into thinking car dependence is their choice. We can still have cars. We can still not charge out the ass for gasoline. But we can also create transportation networks that don't punish you for being blind, a child, or broke." "Performative Christianity." "The adulation of billionaires who treat common people like garbage." "The assumption that a tip is required and starts at 18% now." "The obsession with oversized trucks." "Nothing other than complete domination of an industry is seen as success. God forbid a company is run to have reasonable profits for the sake of filling a need in a community and providing for its workers and owners. It must extract every cent possible for maximum profits at all times." "The obsession with 'hustle culture.' Sometimes rest is just rest, not failure." "Teachers are supposed to be the most respected profession in a functioning society, alongside doctors and the people who keep us safe. It is unreal to me how flippant we are towards the people who spend more time with children than parents." "Affordable health insurance being tied to employment." "The idea that parents are no longer responsible for their kids after they turn 18, and that anything but moving out as soon as you can is being a loser." "As a non-American, the obsession with guns while kids are constantly getting killed by guns in schools." "That minimum wage is not tied to the cost of living. I mean, WTF?" "Pharmaceutical ads." "How uptight everyone is about nudity. I have been around the world, and Americans just have this thing that nudity is bad." "The whole emphasis on 'independence' and 'self-reliance', to the point where people who need/want help are shamed." "Using AI in place of imagination and knowledge. There's actually a new study showing that people who relied on AI to write essays had lower brain activity than people who didn't. Literally less intelligent for doing it." "The blending (especially recently) of politics and religion, and enforcing your religious beliefs on others via policy. It's fine to not get an abortion or be against it if your religious beliefs dictate it, but it's not okay to be against it and remove it as a choice for others. Or, in a less 'controversial' topic: I can't buy hard liquor on a Sunday in my state from a liquor store because it's 'God's Day,' but I can sit down at the bar next door and take shot after shot. If you don't want to drink/buy alcohol on Sundays, don't. It's not up to you to determine if others do." And: "Misguided patriotism and supporting destructive policies that go against everything the country was founded on. Proud ignorance kind of goes hand-in-hand with the aforementioned, but it's another problem as well. The belief in exceptionalism — that there's no way any other country or idea could be better than we are, so there's no need to continue to improve. Denial of hard truths. This effort to hide our past because it makes people uncomfortable. Of course it does. That's what makes us great — to LEARN from it, not hide it. No one is supposed to feel good about slavery. It was very bad. We fought a damn war over it and killed each other in the hundreds of thousands. It should be damn well remembered."

On Eve of Massive Spending Proposal, Resurfacing Presentation from Former Pentagon Advisor Suggests Untapped U.S. Asset Could Quietly Balance the Books
Washington, D.C., July 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As President Trump prepares to introduce a sweeping legislative package—described by insiders as a 'Big Beautiful Bill' with trillion-dollar implications—a released presentation by former White House advisor Jim Rickards may offer a surprising counterbalance. According to Rickards, the U.S. already controls a little-known national asset capable of offsetting many of the bill's fiscal demands—without borrowing, taxing, or printing new dollars. 'The nature of this 'trust' as I call it, is such that politicians haven't been able to raid it… which has allowed it to grow untouched… for decades' . 'This is not some kind of government program like those COVID relief checks,' he adds. 'But it is a chance for the average American to become richer than they ever imagined' . A Resource Base Hidden in Plain Sight The presentation points to a vast store of natural resources—buried beneath federally owned land—stretching across the United States. These include copper, lithium, uranium, and other strategic minerals essential to infrastructure, defense, and energy systems. '$516 billion is here in the Salton Sea area of California… $3.1 trillion in Nome, Alaska. And $7.35 trillion in Midland, Texas…' . Rickards notes that these reserves have been known to government agencies for decades, but effectively off-limits due to environmental red tape and political inertia. 'For the past 50 years, fake-experts have strangled us from within the government,' he says. 'They tied us down with reams of regulation' . Trump's Pivot to Domestic Wealth With the introduction of this new bill—which some expect to prioritize military modernization, industrial revitalization, and energy security—Rickards believes the shift toward using domestic assets isn't just philosophical, it's practical. 'Trump is re-opening our mineral-rich Federal Lands. And fast-tracking companies that could recover trillions of dollars' worth of resources, right here in America'. 'There are certain areas where we have great, raw earth… and we're not allowed to use it because of the environment. I'm going to open them up,' Trump said . Decades of Delay. Days from Decision. The presentation references several high-value resource projects that have been stuck in limbo for years: 'Resolution Copper Mine… 29 years' 'Pebble Mine… since 1990' 'Thacker Pass Lithium Mine… since 1978' Now, Rickards says, the clock may finally be ticking in the other direction. 'We know exactly where these minerals are. We know they're worth trillions of dollars. And now—for the first time in half a century—we can go get them' . A New Path Forward? Rickards argues this isn't a question of what to create—but whether we'll finally use what's already ours. 'It's not earmarked for any specific individual,' he clarifies. 'I'm just trying to use terminology that will make the most sense to viewers' . 'We've had this rich endowment right under our feet… yet for years, we refused to touch it' . As Congress prepares for a new budget cycle, the presentation adds fuel to a growing conversation: Can America build the future… with what it already owns? About Jim Rickards Jim Rickards is a former advisor to the CIA, Pentagon, and U.S. Treasury. He played a key role in the Petrodollar Accord in the 1970s, has counseled the U.S. government through major financial and geopolitical events, and is the author of seven New York Times bestselling books. He now serves as a strategic analyst focused on national resilience, resource policy, and economic forecasting.
