After floating a new “America Party,” Musk has quietly paused the plan—choosing MAGA unity (and JD Vance) over a third-party gamble.
Here’s what really happened—and what it means for 2026 and 2028👇🧵
2/ Just weeks ago, Musk announced the America Party to “represent the 80% in the middle.”
(Unscientific) polls on X showed big support. Musk even declared:
“The America Party is formed to give you back your freedom.”
The Enemedia called it a direct challenge to Trump.
3/ But almost immediately, the problems became clear:
⚠️ Third parties almost always fail
⚠️ They siphon votes from the GOP, handing power to the Left
⚠️ Musk’s ties with MAGA allies were at risk
⚠️ Unforeseen legal hurdles
👉 To become an American, you must prove good moral character — not just avoid crimes.
Here’s what’s changing (and why it matters) 🧵👇
2/ USCIS just announced a new holistic vetting policy:
✔️ No longer enough to simply avoid disqualifying crimes
✔️ Officers must review your whole record
✔️ Citizenship only for those who demonstrate integrity + contribution
3/ Why?
Legal immigration is good. We want people to obey the law and work through the system. We're glad they're here.
But the system exists to protect the people who are ALREADY here.
We have a legal, moral, & ethical duty to be picky.
