Elon Musk launched the "America Party" on July 5, 2025, due to his discontent with the bipartisan system and, in particular, with the recent spending bill from Donald Trump. Musk seeks a "centrist" alternative that focuses on reducing debt, modernizing the military with AI/robotics, promoting technology, and defending free speech and pro-natalist policies. His initial strategy is to focus on winning some seats in the Senate and the House of Representatives to influence key laws, rather than an immediate presidential candidacy, as he is not eligible due to his birth.
