OpenAI's Sam Altman supports Musk, could potentially become a member of the 'America Party' in the future?
On July 4, 2025, American Independence Day, OpenAI's Sam Altman posted on X saying, 'I am politically homeless right now, but that's okay; what matters most is being an American.' He criticized the Democratic Party for straying from the 'techno-capitalism' philosophy he has long believed in, arguing that current political discourse is mostly filled with hatred for billionaires, and there is reluctance to discuss how to help ordinary people get on the 'capital elevator.'
Just a day later, on July 5, Musk officially announced the formation of the 'America Party,' launching a challenge based on a poll on the X platform (over 65% support), committed to breaking the two-party monopoly, and vowed to support candidates who oppose the 'Big Beautiful Bill.' He described the American political landscape as a nominal 'one-party system,' pledging to 'restore freedom' to the 80% of the centrist population.
Tech tycoons are tearing open the cracks of the two-party framework! One is stirring up a trend of party formation, while the other is completely withdrawing from the existing political camp, claiming to recognize only America and not party affiliation. This is not just a personal choice but also suggests that the giants of the AI era are competing for the 'political future narrative rights.'
Next, the most critical question is—could Altman possibly become a potential member of the 'America Party'? Will a defector collaborate with a party creator in the future, or will they go in opposite directions?
