🇺🇸 Tech billionaire and former Trump advisor Elon Musk announced the formation of a new political movement — the America Party — declaring it a response to what he describes as America’s “one-party system bankrupting the nation with waste and graft.” The statement followed a public poll he launched on Independence Day, in which a majority supported the creation of a new party.
Musk wrote: “By a factor of 2 to 1, you want a new political party and you shall have it!” He emphasized that the America Party is intended to “give you back your freedom” and serve as a counterbalance to entrenched political structures.
The timing is notable — the announcement came just 24 hours after President Trump signed the controversial “Big Beautiful Bill”, which raises the national debt ceiling by $5 trillion, sparking concern among fiscal conservatives.
While specifics about the party’s platform remain limited, the move signals Musk’s deeper involvement in U.S. politics heading into the 2024 elections. Political observers are watching closely as Musk mobilizes his massive online following into a potentially disruptive new political force.
