Elon Musk Created A Mysterious Corporation Called 'United States Of America Inc'

Source: Forbes

Republican mega-donor Elon Musk has quietly incorporated two new companies that could indicate his further involvement in U.S. politics, Forbes has learned.

Established earlier this month, the mysterious entities were formed in the billionaire’s home state of Texas using an address shared with his family office; They are United States of America Inc., and Group America LLC. Neither has been previously reported.

There’s little to illuminate their purpose, but United States of America Inc. appears to be a holding company and identifies Musk as its sole director. It’s listed as the managing member of Group America LLC, which does not name Musk, but is linked to him through the address that’s exclusively shared by a number of his companies, including Musk Ventures and several LLCs he’s reportedly also used to conduct business. Representatives for Musk did not respond to a request for comment.

Musk’s new companies don’t show up in Federal Election Commission records that could reveal whether they’ve been used to give or receive campaign funds. The most recent batch of filings stop at this year’s third fiscal quarter, which does not include the month of October when Musk’s companies were incorporated.

nobody who would name a company United States of America Inc. would be acting in the best interest of the people of the actual United States of America.

Using his insane wealth to manipulate feeble politicians while hiding his scheme to rule the world behind some shadow corporations. He's amassed a fleet of self-driving vehicles he can reprogram, humanoid robots, tunneling equipment, and overly phallic rockets. We haven't found out about the program to breed cannibal fire ants in his secret underground lair in Texas so he can dispose of his enemies in an unnecessarily complicated manner, yet, but a good villain has to have something like that in his secret underground lair.

and once he's done spending time in the pokey, deport. I'm sure, if prosecutors tried hard enough, they'd find something he's guilty of.
