Elon Musk the de facto ruler

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 ratio, you want a new political party and you will get it!" Musk wrote in a post on X.

"When it comes to our country's bankruptcy due to waste and corruption, we are living in a one-party system, not in a democracy. Today, the American party was formed to restore your freedom."

This announcement comes amid increasing dissatisfaction among American voters towards the traditional two-party system. A recent poll conducted by Quants Insights found that 40% of Americans would consider supporting a new political party led by Musk.

Among the respondents, 14% said they are "very likely" to support such a movement, and another 26% were "somewhat likely" to do so. 38% said they are unlikely to provide support, while 22% were uncertain.

Musk's move also follows a public feud with President Donald Trump over a recent legislative package from the administration, dubbed the "One Big Beautiful Bill." Musk described the proposal as "insane," sparking a prominent public dispute online between the two men.

It is unclear whether the new party will field candidates for the 2026 midterm elections or aim for a broader structural shift in the American political landscape. $BNB
