#MuskAmericaParty Musk used his social media platform X to make the official announcement, presenting the 'America Party' as a necessary alternative to the current political system. "When it comes to ruining our country with waste and corruption, we live in a one-party system, not in a democracy," the businessman wrote in his post on Saturday.

The decision to form the party arose from a survey that Musk conducted on X during his public conflict with Trump, where he asked users if a new political party should exist in the United States. The results showed a 2 to 1 support for the idea, which Musk interpreted as a mandate to act.
