يبدو أن مغناطيس السلطة له قوة خارقة تستطيع إغواء أغنى الأغنياء الذين بإمكان ثرواتهم تحقيق الصيت والتأثير وحياة البذخ الصاخبة والعامرة بالملذات. شيء ما يشعرون أنه ينقصهم، السلطة، اعتلاء مؤسسة الحكم، يبحثون عن تلك النشوة عندما تكون صاحب سلطة على ملايين البشر وليس على الآلاف من موظفي شركاتك، رغم معرفتهم بهامش المخاطرة الكبير في هذا المجال.
قبل يومين أعلن رجل الأعمال الأمريكي إيلون ماسك عن تأسيس حزب سياسي جديد، يحمل اسم «حزب أمريكا»، قائلاً إنه جاء استجابة لرغبة غالبية المواطنين في التغيير السياسي. ماسك الذي يتربع على عرش المليارات، وبالكاد يستطيع متابعة أعماله، أصابته عدوى السياسة عندما اقترب كثيراً من دونالد ترمب في حملته الرئاسية وأصبح أكبر داعميه. وبعد دخوله البيت الأبيض كلّفه ليشرف على إدارة بالغة الحساسية هي «كفاءة الإنفاق»، والتي لا بد أن تصطدم مع جهات كثيرة ومؤثرة. السياسة جعلت شهر العسل قصيراً بين ماسك وترمب. عاد ماسك إلى شركاته لكنه بدأ ينتقد ترمب بشكل تصاعدي، ووصل الأمر ذروته بإعلان ماسك إنشاء حزب جديد بمسمى «حزب أمريكا»، وما الذي يريد الحزب أن يفعله يا سيد ماسك؟ يجيب قائلاً (يهدف إلى إعادة الحرية إلى الشعب الأمريكي وخلق بديل حقيقي للمؤسسات السياسية التقليدية التي فشلت في خدمة المواطن. وعندما يتعلق الأمر بإفلاس بلدنا بسبب الهدر والفساد، فنحن لا نعيش في ديمقراطية، بل في نظام حزب واحد يحتكر القرار).
ترمب أذكى كثيراً من ماسك، لأنه دخل مضمار السياسة كي يصبح رئيساً من خلال حزب تأريخي عريق يحتكر مع الحزب الديمقراطي إدارة أمريكا. نشوة وعظمة الجلوس في المكتب البيضاوي غير الجلوس في مكتب إدارة الإنفاق، لذلك كان لدى ترمب مبرر للنضال من أجل العودة إليه وتسجيل الرقمين 45 و47 في تأريخ الرئاسة الأمريكية. أما ماسك رغم ذكائه في الأعمال التجارية فإنه خسر كثيراً بالتورط في اللعبة السياسية بدخوله في إدارة ترمب من خلال مهمة حساسة كانت ستؤدي إلى خلاف مؤكد، وهذا ما حدث. لكنه لم يستوعب التجربة ويكتفي من الخسارة بالإياب، إذ يبدو أن فايروس السياسة بدأ يستشري فيه، فذهب بعيداً في مهمة لن تنجح، وهي تأسيس حزب سياسي جديد بعد أن هدم جسر العلاقة مع الرئيس ترمب ومعظم أطراف الأخطبوط السياسي الذي يدير أمريكا. ماسك بدأ يلعب بالنار داخل مؤسسة جبارة لا ترحم من يتجرأ بالتطاول عليها.

It seems that the magnet of power has a supernatural force that can seduce the wealthiest of the wealthy, whose fortunes can achieve fame, influence, and a lavish life filled with pleasures. There is something they feel is missing, power, the ascension to the seat of government; they seek that ecstasy of having authority over millions of people rather than just thousands of your company's employees, despite their awareness of the significant risks involved in this field.
Two days ago, American businessman Elon Musk announced the establishment of a new political party named "America Party," stating that it came in response to the desire of the majority of citizens for political change. Musk, who sits atop the billionaires' throne and can barely keep up with his businesses, caught the political virus when he got too close to Donald Trump during his presidential campaign and became his biggest supporter. After entering the White House, Trump tasked him with overseeing a highly sensitive administration known as "spending efficiency," which is bound to clash with many influential parties. Politics made the honeymoon short between Musk and Trump. Musk returned to his companies but began to criticize Trump increasingly, culminating in Musk's announcement of the creation of a new party called "America Party." So, what does the party aim to do, Mr. Musk? He answers, saying, "It aims to restore freedom to the American people and create a real alternative to the traditional political institutions that have failed to serve the citizen. When it comes to our country's bankruptcy due to waste and corruption, we do not live in a democracy, but in a one-party system that monopolizes decision-making."
Trump is much smarter than Musk, as he entered the political arena to become president through a historic and prestigious party that, along with the Democratic Party, monopolizes the management of America. The ecstasy and grandeur of sitting in the Oval Office is not the same as sitting in the Office of Spending Management, which is why Trump had justification for fighting to return to it and to register numbers 45 and 47 in the history of the American presidency. As for Musk, despite his intelligence in business, he lost a lot by getting involved in the political game through his role in Trump's administration with a sensitive mission that was bound to lead to certain conflict, and that is what happened. However, he did not grasp the experience and settled for the loss of returning; it seems that the virus of politics has begun to spread within him, as he ventured far into a mission that will not succeed, which is establishing a new political party after he burned the bridge of relationship with President Trump and most of the tentacles of the political octopus that runs America. Musk has started to play with fire inside a formidable institution that does not spare those who dare to overreach it.
