#MuskAmericaParty Elon Musk has recently announced the formation of a new political party called the "America Party." This announcement came after a public fallout with US President Donald Trump over a significant tax-cut and spending bill, which Musk heavily criticized as "debt slavery."
Musk's stated aim for the America Party is to challenge the existing two-party system in the United States, which he refers to as a "uniparty" that prioritizes waste and graft over the will of the people. He conducted a poll on his social media platform X (formerly Twitter) asking users if they desired a new political party, and the majority voted in favor.
While details about the party's formal registration and leadership are still emerging, Musk has outlined an initial strategy to focus on a limited number of Senate and House seats. His goal is for the America Party to become a decisive force in contentious legislative matters, ensuring that laws truly serve the people's interests. The party is expected to be fiscally conservative and emphasize reducing government waste.
It's worth noting that Elon Musk, born outside the US, is ineligible to run for the US presidency himself. His political affiliations have evolved over time, from historically voting Democratic to increasingly supporting Republican candidates in recent years. He has also been a significant political donor, particularly to Donald Trump's 2024 campaign, before their recent public disagreement.
