Elon Musk Launches New U.S. Political Party Called the ‘America Party’
Elon Musk, the billionaire businessman, has revealed that he has started a new political party called the America Party. He announced the information on his social media platform X, indicating that this party would provide a remedy to the broken two-party system that currently exists in the U.S., especially after their recent public fallout with former U.S. President Donald Trump.
Musk’s New Political Move
Elon Musk wrote on his social media platform X that a new political party, called the America Party, has emerged. He said this party would allow people to “get their freedom back,” in addition to providing a backlash against wasteful spending and corruption in Washington, D.C. Musk also indicated a poll he had recently posted on his account, showing most users wanted a new political party. He stated that the current political system is broken and only benefits the powerful.
Why Musk Is Upset with Trump
As noted earlier, Musk used to have a close relationship with Donald Trump. He even participated in election rallies while Trump was in office and was part of his inner circle of advisors. However, Musk’s claims about Trump turned sour when Musk left the government cabinet in May 2025. He voiced extreme disgust about Trump’s new spending and tax alup-citig that will add more than $3 trillion and over the course of time is unA new law buried in Trump’s bill was particularly infuriating to Musk is that there are no benefits for electric vehicle adoption or green energy incentives when Musk is heavily involved with these items with his company, Tesla.
Trump’s Response and Tension
After Musk’s exit, Trump hit back. On his platform Truth Social, Trump mocked Musk for depending on government subsidies and hinted at investigating his companies. Trump also removed green subsidies in his “big, beautiful bill” — a new law focused on taxes and spending. He claimed Musk had gotten more government support than anyone in history. This added to the tensions between the two former allies.
What Happens next?
As of now the Federal Electoral Commission hasn’t recognized if Musk’s America Party is even registered. There is also no designation of who will be the leader to the start of any party or participation in the upcoming elections. Starting a new third party in the US system is unlikely but Musk may be able to leverage his notoriety and wealth (potentially) to gain some exposure. But who knows what the American public will respond to and will do next. As of now the public and media is awaiting to see what Musk will do next.
