Elon's America: Can the Billionaire Reboot the Right?

from City Journal Audio

Tech billionaire Elon Musk is testing a new frontier in politics. In this episode, Charles Fain Lehman, Jesse Arm, Rafael Mangual, and Daniel Di Martino explore Musk's proposed America Party—what it means for the right, why it's gaining traction across conservative media, and whether it's more than X posturing. They also tackle the One Big Beautiful Bill—a trillion-dollar effort to rein in spending without touching Social Security or Medicare. Is it serious reform, or just another political stunt? Plus: July Fourth, national identity, and the conservative fight to reclaim America's founding story.
