Elon Musk announced the formation of a new political party on Sunday, after a poll conducted on platform X showed that 65% of respondents support the idea of a new political force.
"By a 2 to 1 margin, you want a new political party, and you will get one!" Musk wrote in a post on X.
"When it comes to the bankruptcy of our country due to waste and corruption, we live in a one-party system, not in a democracy. Today, the American Party was formed to restore your freedom."
This announcement comes amid growing dissatisfaction among American voters with the traditional two-party system. A recent poll by Quant Insights found that 40% of Americans would consider supporting a new political party led by Musk.
Among the respondents, 14% said they were "very likely" to support such a movement, and another 26% were "somewhat likely" to do so. 38% said they were unlikely to provide support, while 22% were unsure.
Musk's move also follows a public feud with President Donald Trump over a recent legislative package from the administration, which he called "one big beautiful bill." Musk described the proposal as "crazy," and the dispute sparked a prominent public quarrel online between the two last month.
It is unclear whether the new party will field candidates for the 2026 midterm elections or aims for a broader structural shift in the American political landscape. However, Musk's announcement taps into the rising frustration of voters with what he described as a "one-party system" and positions the American Party as a means for political disruption.
With a large number of followers on social media and influence across business, media, and technology, Musk can reshape parts of the political dialogue before the 2026 and 2028 elections.
