#MuskAmericaParty Elon Musk has officially launched the America Party in July 2025, a new political formation that seeks to break with the traditional bipartisan system of the United States. The announcement came after a poll on his platform X, where more than 65% of the 1.2 million voters supported the creation of a new political party.
The initiative arises amid a public break with Donald Trump, after Musk harshly criticized the budget law signed by the president. Musk, who had been a key ally of Trump and even led the Department of Government Efficiency, resigned in May and began to distance himself from the government due to disagreements over public spending, green subsidies, and fiscal priorities.
The America Party does not seek to directly compete for the presidency, as Musk is ineligible for the position due to being born outside of the United States. Instead, its strategy is more tactical: to obtain between 2 and 3 seats in the Senate and 8 to 10 in the House of Representatives. With such tight legislative margins, that presence would be sufficient to become a decisive block in key votes.
Musk has described the current system as a “false democracy” dominated by a single party disguised as two, and promises that the America Party will return freedom to citizens. Although it has not yet been formally registered with the Federal Election Commission, the movement has already generated a strong media and political impact, with intense reactions from both Republicans and Democrats.
This new chapter in Musk's political life could redefine the balance of power in Washington and open the door to a disruptive third force in Congress.
