Elon Musk Announces Formation of ‘The America Party’ in Bid to Disrupt U.S. Political Landscape

Tech billionaire and CEO of X and Tesla, Elon Musk, announced the formation of a new political movement called "The America Party", declaring it a response to widespread public dissatisfaction with the current U.S. political system.
In a post on his platform X, Musk wrote:
"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."
The announcement follows a series of posts in which Musk has increasingly criticized both major U.S. political parties, accusing them of corruption, inefficiency, and a lack of accountability.
While details about the party’s platform, leadership structure, or electoral ambitions remain unclear, Musk’s declaration is already sparking widespread debate and speculation about the billionaire’s potential political ambitions and how this new entity might reshape the 2024 and 2028 election cycles.
