‘To spite Trump': MAGA commentator Laura Loomer predicts conservatives joining Musk's America Party; names 3 key figures

Time of India8 hours ago
MAGA commentator and Trump ally Laura Loomer on Sunday suggested that some prominent conservatives could soon align with Elon Musk's newly launched America Party.
Loomer named three prominent figures she believes are poised to align with Musk: former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Representative Thomas Massie.
In a post on X, Loomer said: "I predict Tucker Carlson, MTG, and Thomas Massie will join the new 'America Party' to spite President Trump."
Tucker Carlson
Loomer pointed to the former Fox News commentator but said Carlson isn't a 'true Trump supporter.' Despite that, she predicted he would sign on with Musk's America Party as a way to 'spite President Trump.' Carlson recently criticised Republicans for producing 'weak' policy positions.
Marjorie Taylor Greene
Georgia Representative Greene has already publicly sided with Musk over Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill.' Loomer said this makes her a prime candidate to join Musk's party. Greene used her platform to praise Musk for confronting Trump on fiscal discipline, noting her dissatisfaction with Congress's spending.
Thomas Massie
Loomer signalled that Musk-backed Congressman Massie, who voted against Trump's signature tax-and-spend package, would follow suit with the America Party.

Trump has previously criticised Massie, but Loomer highlighted his stance against the bill—saying he had 'enough' Republicans to resist it—as evidence of his willingness to break with Trump on principle.
Musk's America Party aims for 'Freedom'
Elon Musk officially launched the America Party on July 5, declaring that it was created to 'give you back your freedom.' The move came after growing tensions with Donald Trump over a recent federal spending bill, which Musk opposed. The party says it will apply 'extremely concentrated force' to influence key Senate and House races. Its focus will be on budget cuts, deregulation, and tech-focused policies. Though its national reach is still limited, political observers say the America Party could reshape close races in swing districts.
Musk's new party is already drawing attention from frustrated conservatives, libertarians, and some in the MAGA movement who no longer align fully with Trump.

Mukesh Ambani bets big on US gas as Trump's trade war reshapes global energy, all you need to know

Mukesh Ambani, Asia's richest man, is racing to buy American ethane gas as a shield against President Trump's trade war. His company Reliance Industries imports 1.6 million tonnes yearly from US shale fields, shipped in giant tankers to Gujarat factories. This cheap gas replaces costlier oil-based naphtha for making plastics, saving $450 million annually. With Trump threatening 26% 'reciprocal tariffs' on Indian goods by July 9, Ambani's bet positions India as a key buyer of US energy, potentially easing tensions over India's $43 billion trade surplus with America. His fleet of six specialized ethane tankers now anchors this strategy, according to a Bloomberg report. India's state-run GAIL is also trying to replicate Ambani's tactics to stay ahead in the race. It just sought 20-year contracts for US ethane tankers after government policies slashed its natural gas supply, hurting profits. Like Reliance, GAIL will pipe ethane to its chemical plants to replace naphtha. The shift is urgent: Ethane costs half as much as naphtha and produces more plastic per tonne. Even Qatar now charges extra for ethane in gas sold to India, forcing firms like GAIL to seek US alternatives. Analysts call this a 'permanent shift' as shale gas floods global markets. Trump's trade wars make Ambani's move timely. China once bought most US ethane, but Trump's tariffs and 'decoupling' push have stalled deals. India now grabs this surplus, though it can't match China's Apple's plan to make iPhones in India faces Trump's wrath over 'massive tariffs,' showing New Delhi's precarious position. By boosting US energy purchases, India hopes to avoid auto and textile tariffs. Reliance's pipeline network and new ships strengthen its role as a 'pressure valve' in US-India trade talks. The Ambani-Trump connection runs deep. Ivanka attended Ambani's son's $600 million wedding, while Trump hosted the family at his pre-inauguration gala. Now, their interests align commercially: Trump needs foreign buyers for US shale gas, while Ambani seeks cheap raw materials. As Reliance orders three more ethane tankers, experts warn India's oil refineries may become obsolete.
