"If Republicans balanced the budget, there would no longer be a Democrat Party."

Mr. Trump will not balance the budget. But we knew that.
NO Republican will balance the budget. But we know that, too.

You will not live to see a balanced budget.
If you have children, they will not live to see a balanced budget
If you have grandchildren, they will not live to see a balanced budget.

Nothing against your opinion.
But the reality of the current situation points towards a different future.

Perhaps there will someday occur a calamity ... one so great that when (years later) the dust clears away, there MIGHT BE a "balanced" budget.

But the intervening events to reach that point are not any you or I, nor any other member of this forum would care to live through.

Hmmm... re the actual topic of the thread...
Although Mr. Musk is the wealthiest of all men, I really don't think his attempt at creating a "new" party will produce results any more lasting than, say, H. Ross Perot was able to obtain some years' back.

Now... If Mr. Trump proclaimed the creation of a new party... that could possibly get somewhere.
He is, after all, the first "independent" to be elected president.

Oh, no, you'll reply, he's "a Republican".
Well, not really.
Mr. Trump ... three times (not one, not two, but THREE)... stole the Republican Party's horse, jumped aboard, and rode to victories. He was cheated out of one of them. But the other two count...

This ⬇️ reference to zealots is a rage.  Granted, it's a little low-T, but a rage nonetheless.

So, why do you still rage against Trump supporters?

You clearly are confusing 'ecstasy' with 'rage'.  Considering how much you hate Conservatives and how much you support all the Democrat policies that Trump backs, I am really surprised that you would not be thrilled at this turn of events.  Musk (and Conservatives) want to balance the budget.  They want to end deficit spending.  They want to marginalize the Fed.  They want smaller government.  They want to end corruption.  So this is a wonderful opportunity for you to detach yourself from those opposed to your political philosophy.  Again, you should be ecstatic.

Musk’s primary threats pose danger for Republicans

No, it is the Republicans' insistence to lie to their voters by backing Democrat spending and funneling money right back to the Democrat Party that poses a danger to Republicans.

If Republicans balanced the budget, there would no longer be a Democrat Party.

GOOD!
