Musk Announces Formation of New Political Party Amidst Feud with Trump

Elon Musk reveals plans for the America Party, challenging the traditional two-party landscape in the US.


The billionaire’s announcement operates against a backdrop of a recent fallout with former ally Donald Trump, raising questions about the party's formal registration and potential impact on US politics.

Elon Musk, the billionaire entrepreneur known for revolutionizing technology, has taken a bold step in the political arena by announcing the launch of a new political party named the America Party. The announcement, made on his social media platform X, comes just weeks after a public fallout with former US President Donald Trump, showcasing Musk's discontent with the current political climate dominated by the Republican and Democratic parties.

Musk's new party is presented as an answer to the frustrations of many citizens who feel marginalized by the existing political structure. While Musk does not have the eligibility to run for the presidency due to his foreign birth, he has not disclosed who will actually lead the party. His initial proposition for a new political party coincided with tensions during his association with Trump, during which he conducted a poll on X asking followers if they supported the idea of a new political entity.

"By a factor of 2 to 1, you want a new political party and you shall have it!" Musk declared in his recent post, asserting that the America Party aims to restore freedoms to the people. Nevertheless, as of late Saturday, there is no indication from the Federal Electoral Commission that the party has been officially registered or recognized.

Historical attempts by various minor parties such as the Libertarian Party, the Green Party, and others have struggled to make a significant impact during presidential elections, often failing to challenge the two-party system effectively. Musk's previous close ties to Trump included significant financial support, contributing $250 million towards Trump's campaign efforts and serving briefly in a governmental role that was meant to promote efficiency.

However, their association soured over differing opinions on fiscal policies, particularly following the recent passage of extensive legislation that Musk criticized for lacking focus on green energy initiatives. As the tension flared, Trump has publicly taken aim at Musk's expansive subsidies that benefit his companies, threatening to investigate them further, further fueling an ongoing feud.

As the political landscape shifts, all eyes will now be on the America Party to see if it can mobilize enough support to challenge the status quo and emerge as a serious contender in American politics.
