Elon Musk Forms New Political Party: America Party Aims to Shake U.S. System
Tech billionaire Elon Musk has made waves again—this time in politics—by announcing the launch of a new political movement: the America Party. The announcement came via his social media platform X, signaling what he described as a response to growing public frustration with the traditional two-party system in the United States.
Musk, who once stood as a vocal supporter and financier of former president Donald Trump, appears to have distanced himself sharply from his former ally. After resigning from a budget advisory role in Trump’s administration, he criticized the new federal spending bill, which was recently signed into law. The legislation, while expansive, did not include any notable green energy incentives—a major concern for Musk given his leadership of Tesla and other energy-focused ventures.
In a post referencing an earlier poll he conducted on his platform, Musk claimed there was strong public backing for the idea of a new party. "By a factor of two to one, Americans want a third option. And now, they have it," Musk declared.
Despite the statement, as of now, no official documentation confirming the America Party's registration has appeared on the Federal Election Commission’s website. It remains unclear whether the initiative is symbolic, exploratory, or a serious attempt at restructuring the American political map.
Musk cannot run for U.S. president due to his South African birth, but observers note he may use his influence, funding, and massive following to back candidates or causes aligned with his principles. His split with Trump has drawn attention not only for the personal fallout but also for its possible implications in reshaping parts of the conservative movement ahead of the next election cycle.
The tensions escalated further after Trump publicly questioned the billions in government subsidies received by Musk's companies, hinting that future oversight might target Tesla, SpaceX, or Starlink. In response, Musk doubled down on his criticisms of waste and inefficiency in federal budgets.
Whether the America Party becomes a lasting force or simply a brief chapter in U.S. political theater, it’s clear Musk intends to remain an outspoken player in national debates—not just in technology or business, but also on the political front.
