Elon Musk has announced the launch of a new political party, the America Party, aiming to challenge the established Republican and Democratic dominance in the United States. This move comes weeks after a publicized falling out with former US President Donald Trump.
The America Party: A Challenge to the Status Quo?
Musk made the announcement on his social media platform X, stating that the party is intended to give Americans back their freedom. He referenced a previous poll he conducted on X, where users overwhelmingly supported the idea of a new political party in the US.
"By a factor of 2 to 1, you want a new political party and you shall have it! When it comes to bankrupting our country with waste & graft, we live in a one-party system, not a democracy. Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom," Musk posted.
Unanswered Questions and Formal Registration
Despite the announcement, it remains unclear whether the America Party has been formally registered with US election authorities. Musk has yet to provide details about the party's leadership or its specific platform. As of Saturday, the Federal Electoral Commission had not published any documents indicating the party's formal registration.
Musk's Past Political Involvement
Musk was a prominent supporter of Donald Trump during the 2024 election, reportedly spending $250 million to aid his campaign. He was later appointed to lead the Department of Government Efficiency (Doge), tasked with identifying cuts in the federal budget. His relationship with Trump soured after he left the administration in May, publicly criticizing Trump's tax and spending plans.
The launch of the America Party could signal a significant shift in the US political landscape, but its success will depend on its ability to attract support and navigate the complexities of the American political system.
