Billionaire Elon Musk indicated Tuesday that releasing files related to convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein will be a major goal for his third party.
Musk’s statement comes as he seeks to launch the “America Party” to challenge the nation’s two-party system. An X user asked Musk if releasing the Epstein files would “rank high” in his party’s goals, to which Musk responded with a “100” emoji.
The billionaire broke his bromance with Trump by releasing several statements on X, one of which read that the president is “in the Epstein files “ and that this is “the real reason” the files have not been made public. Musk has since deleted this post.
Musk also claimed the files include Trump ally Steve Bannon, who called for Musk to be arrested or deported over his criticism of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
Multiple people caution Musk from starting a third party, with Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) predicting it would only help Democrats. The Washington Examiner’s Joe Concha also said the America Party would only “play the spoiler instead of actually offering a solution.”
ELON MUSK’S ‘AMERICA PARTY’ PROPOSAL – COULD IT WORK?
Trump sidestepped a question about Epstein Tuesday, asking why people were still talking about “this creep.” Attorney General Pam Bondi also tried to dispel concerns about a missing minute from the footage of Epstein’s cell, saying it is a common occurrence.
FBI Director Kash Patel appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience in June and attempted to avoid Musk’s feud with Trump, saying “I’m not participating in any part of that conversation.”
I hope musk does run for a third party president. As long as musk works more for the general middle class citizens and the poor. If musk will raise taxes on all the rich citizens and make them pay a higher tax for those people who annual Income of 250,00 and over and use the money it can bring into our government to pay for medicaid, Medicare, leave social security alone. Bring back the programs so kids can receive a lunch over summer and school lunch programs,, pay for reasonable day care so parents can afford to work. Musk needs to focus on our middle class and poor citizens and bring up minimum wage to 20.00 a hour and support a more democratic party if he makes a third party. I would vote for him. Families go broke paying for daycare. I hope musk does get the epsteim files released to the public and I feel a rat trumps doing his best for these files do not ever be released. This is my opinion on a third party.
