In a sharp and honest public statement, Elon Musk denied a Wall Street Journal report stating that he was withdrawing from the newly announced plan to launch the America Party. Early Monday, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX issued a candid response on X (formerly Twitter):
This is the clearest confirmation yet that Musk remains committed to his political initiative and is actively pushing for the establishment of the America Party - despite increasing media speculation and political pushback.
WSJ Report Sparks Immediate Reaction
The original story from WSJ, alleging that Musk is 'quietly withdrawing' from the Republican project, has spread through financial and political circles. The story, based on unnamed sources, alleges internal issues and a recalibration of strategy at Tesla, SpaceX, and Musk's consulting group.
But Musk quickly denied the report from X, accusing the Wall Street Journal of fabricating the story. His response triggered a strong online backlash, particularly from supporters of the America Party and community-driven America Party Token holders.
Significance: America Party Coming Soon
Musk's public denial of the WSJ report indicates that the launch of the America Party is not only still progressing as planned but is also imminent.
This aligns with recent developments, including Musk's aggressive campaign to release Epstein's files, his sharp criticism of Donald Trump, and his public consensus with congressional figures calling for government transparency. The America Party has been positioned by Musk as a political vehicle focused on fiscal responsibility, national innovation, the adoption of Bitcoin, and most recently, his aggressive efforts to bring information related to Epstein to light.
Market Impact: AP Token Back in the Digital Spotlight
The assurance has also generated optimism around the America Party Token (AP) - a meme coin created by the community inspired by the political movement. Although not officially endorsed by Musk, the token (contract address: 0xe60e9BD04ccc0a394f1fDf29874e35a773cb07f4) has experienced a surge of interest on decentralized exchanges, fueled by speculation regarding Musk's next move.
With a current market cap hovering around $4 million, early investors have positioned AP as a coin with high potential. If Musk's political involvement becomes public - through interviews, campaign announcements, or actual events - the token could generate a wave of excitement similar to the surge of Dogecoin.
Next Steps in Elon Musk's Strategy
Although there is no official election date or candidate list yet, Musk has suggested that the America Party may target 2-3 Senate elections and 8-10 House elections in the 2026 midterm elections, bypassing the burden of accessing ballots nationwide. This 'funnel' approach reflects Musk's strategy across industries: engaging where the highest influence lies and controlling the narrative from within.
Media Warfare: Elon vs Traditional Press
This event also highlights the increasingly costly media war between Musk and traditional media. Musk's distrust of traditional media is not new, but calling the Wall Street Journal - a symbol of American journalism - completely unreliable only heightens the tension.
Many in the Musk-supporting community have now positioned X (formerly Twitter) as a media hub for political truth - granting Musk more power to navigate and influence political conversations without the filter of an organization.
Conclusion
Elon Musk's denial of the WSJ report is not just a dismissal, but also a green light.
The America Party is not only growing but also accelerating. And for keen observers, this upward momentum seems undeniable.
Stay tuned for an official announcement soon. For investors, activists, and outsiders, the message is clear:
Don't blink. The America Party is coming.
