😨 ELON FLOATS BLUEPRINT FOR A NEW "AMERICA PARTY” POWER PLAY

Forget the presidency - Elon’s idea? Flip just enough seats to become the kingmaker. He’s talking 2–3 Senate races, 8–10 House districts. That’s it. @elonmusk : "Given the razor-thin legislative margins, that would be enough to serve as the deciding vote on contentious laws, ensuring that they serve the true will of the people." ▶️ This can be seen as "Minority leverage". Not a party to win; a party to decide who does. All it "America party" ‼️ Source: @elonmusk thru Mario Nawfal on X
