#MuskAmericaParty 1The American Party owned by Elon Musk is a new US political party launched on July 5, 2025, with the aim of changing the traditional two-party system. Here are the things we know so far ¹ ² ³:
- *Core Principles*: The party advocates for fiscal responsibility, government efficiency, freedom of expression, and the use of technology for better governance.
- *Goals*: The party aims to target 2-3 Senate seats and 8-10 House seats to influence legislation without needing a complete candidate slate.
- *Platform*: Musk's platform likely emphasizes free speech, fiscal conservatism, AI innovation, high-skilled immigration, and anti-establishment reforms.
- *Centrist Alternative*: The American Party is positioned as a centrist alternative, aiming to attract 80% in the middle who feel unrepresented by both extreme parties, either Republican or Democrat. - *Challenging the Status Quo*: Musk's move is seen as a direct challenge to Trump’s Republican Party and the Democrats, especially given the very slim margins in Congress.
- *Future Plans*: The party's immediate focus will not be on presidential candidacy, but on influencing major legislative elections, potentially holding the balance of power.
It is worth noting that Elon Musk cannot run for president due to constitutional restrictions, but he is expected to play a key role in the upcoming elections ⁴.
