S. Vice President JD Vance if he decides to run for president in 2028, the newspaper reported, citing people familiar with the matter. 据知情人士透露，《华尔街日报》还报导，马斯克正考虑动用部分庞大财力，支持美国副 总统 J.D. Vance 若在 2028 年决定参选总统。 Reuters could not immediately verify the report. Tesla and the White House did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment. 路透社尚无法立即证实该报导内容。特斯拉与白宫也未立即回应路透的置评要求。 Musk launched his America Party in early July, after U.S. President Donald Trump signed his self-styled "big, beautiful" tax-cut and spending bill into law. Musk had fiercely opposed the bill and lobbied against it. 马斯克在 7 月初成立了「美国党」（America Party），时机正好是在美国总统川普签署 其自称「伟大而美丽」的减税与支出法案後。马斯克曾强烈反对该法案，并积极游说反制 。 "Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom", he wrote in an X post after the bill was passed. 「今天，美国党成立了，要把你们的自由还给你们。」该法案通过後，他在 X（前 Twitter）上如此写道。 "By a factor of 2 to 1, you want a new political party and you shall have it!" 「根据二比一的比例，你们想要一个新的政党，而你们将会拥有它！」 心得/评论： 马斯克放弃组党，主要是因为 不想与共和党正面冲突，避免伤及商业利益。 同时，他选择以支持 J.D. Vance 等政治新星的方式，间接影响美国政坛。 这是一种「务实退却」：保住企业利益，又保持政治筹码。 --
