Elon Musk Pauses ‘America Party’ Push to Preserve GOP Relationships and Refocus on Companies

He is stepping back to avoid jeopardizing his standing with Vice President J.D. Vance.

Overview

  • The Wall Street Journal reports Musk is quietly slowing his third‑party drive as he tells allies he wants to concentrate on Tesla, SpaceX and X.
  • He has expressed concern about alienating Republicans by siphoning votes and is working to maintain ties with Vice President J.D. Vance.
  • Sources say he is considering using his wealth to support Vance if the vice president runs for president in 2028.
  • The America Party remains largely unbuilt, with scant outreach to potential partners and even a July meeting on ballot access canceled.
  • Allies say he may revisit the idea before the 2026 midterms, though Musk posted that reporting from the Wall Street Journal should not be considered true.
