As per Elon Musk, the America party will serve as an option for Americans who are unhappy with both Republican and Democratic parties.

Overview

  • He criticized the two-party system as a “uniparty” and vowed the new party would “give you back your freedom.”
  • Musk outlined a laser-focused strategy to win just two or three Senate seats and eight to ten House districts that could hold the balance of power in a narrowly split Congress.

  • In response, President Trump has threatened to deport Musk and revoke federal contracts for his companies.
