'How long before Vivek...': Conspiracy theorists want Ramaswamy in Elon's 'Indian-dominated' party; wild prediction says Tucker Carlson may run for president
Social media users said Vivek Ramaswamy should join Elon Musk's America Party as there are no actual Americans. As Elon Musk can't contest for presidential election as he was not born in the US, conspiracy theorists worked overtime to find out possible disruptors who could join Elon Musk's America Party and lead it. And the first choice was Vivek Ramaswamy who apparently did not have a good run working as the co-lead of the Department of Government Efficiency along with Elon Musk. But social media users said Vivek Ramaswamy would be the best fit for America Party as it already has no 'actual American' and Vivek will be an addition. Elon Musk earlier promised that he would launch a new party if the 'Big, Beautiful Bill' gets passed. He kept his promise, and not only was it launched, but its paperwork was also done. According to the FEC document, Tesla CFO Vaibhav Taneja was listed as the treasurer. The revelation drew a massive backlash as neither Elon Musk nor Vaibhav is an American, though the name of the party is America Party. Vivek Ramaswamy has been endorsed as the GOP gubernatorial candidate for Ohio and has already raised a record fund in a very short time while the primary is one year away. But Vivek Ramaswamy recently slammed the race-based attack toward NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, while the attack was being led by MAGA. Elon Musk's launching of a new party was seen as a parallel to Vivek Ramaswamy's last year's rant against American culture -- and social media users Sunday concluded that MAGA should not have believed either of them. Tucker Carlson to run for president in 2028? Meanwhile, Trump aide Laura Loomer predicted that Tucker Carlson may run for President in 2028 -- from Elon Musk's party. "There's a reason why he is trying to undermine US foreign policy and present himself as a kingmaker on a global scale," Loomer said. Amid US-Iran-Israel tension, Carlson Saturday announced he would soon air his interview with Iranian president Masoud Pezeshkian. 'We know we'll be criticized for doing this interview. Why did we do it anyway? Well, we did it because we were just at war with Iran 10 days ago, and maybe again,' Carlson said in a preview clip of his show, The Tucker Carlson Show.
