American Political Ruckus: Elon Musk Launches America Party, Directly Challenges Donald Trump & Congress
Now Elon Musk officially launches America Party, which he also calls the moment of US Independence Day as the right time to declare independence from the political system he deems has been corrupted by personal interests and bureaucratic corruption.
The main trigger for Elon Musk's decision is the passage of a controversial bill called the Big Beautiful Bill (BBB), a tax and spending bill.
This step is reported to be taken as a form of resistance against what he calls a "one-party system with two different names" in the United States, referring to the dominance of the Republican and Democratic Parties.
Through his social media platform X @elonmusk, Musk wrote that this party was formed to “Today, America Party was formed to restore your freedom,” wrote Elon Musk on his X account, Saturday (6/7/2025) local time.
According to reports from CNBC and The New York Post, he believes the current two-party system has lost its way and no longer represents the interests of the broader public.
He also mentioned the moment of US Independence Day as the right time to declare independence from the political system he deems has been corrupted by personal interests and bureaucratic corruption.
Before this announcement, Musk had conducted a poll on platform X. The results showed that more than 65 percent of 1.25 million respondents expressed support for the formation of a new party.
