Elon Musk’s decision to create a third party has roiled the political landscape, but pressure is building on the right to push the billionaire entrepreneur toward a different path to achieving greater spending cuts: embracing the Convention of the States movement.
Musk launched the America Party over the Fourth of July holiday after the passage of President Donald Trump’s One Big, Beautiful Bill Act, arguing that the Democratic and Republican parties are bankrupting America.
But since then, political figures like the Daily Wire’s Ben Shapiro and Fox News’ Mark Levin have floated the idea of Musk redirecting his ambition into pursuing a convention of states, a vehicle the Founders created in the Constitution.
“I want to float another idea that Ben Shapiro, myself, Mark Levin…good friends of mine have been talking about the last couple of days,” Just the News founder John Solomon said on the “Just the News, No Noise” TV show on Tuesday.
“Rather than Elon Musk go out and create a third party, which will only, as history has shown, split the vote, probably let Democrats win, even with pluralities in some districts…a better option for Elon Musk would be to put his money and his effort behind the Convention of the States [which is] the effort by states to call a constitutional convention, and for the first time since the founding of this country, rein in the central government with the power our founding fathers gave us in federalism.”
