#MuskAmericaParty

Formation: Musk officially announced the creation of "America's Party" on July 5, 2025, following a poll on X (formerly Twitter) where the majority of users supported the idea of a new political party.

Motivation: He stated that the party's goal is to "keep democracy alive" and "restore" Americans' freedom, challenging what he calls the "two-party system" (some might say). This move comes amid a public dispute with President Donald Trump, particularly over a recent tax and spending bill that Musk strongly opposes, arguing it will bankrupt the country.

Platform (limited details): While specific details about the party's full platform are still emerging, early indications suggest a focus on reducing debt, responsible spending, and modernizing the military with artificial intelligence/robotics. Musk also emphasized giving voters independence from the two current major parties.

Strategy: Musk indicated that America's Party will initially focus on targeting key areas in the Senate and the House in the upcoming midterm elections (likely 2026), aiming to secure enough seats to create a "decisive vote" on controversial legislation.
