Overview

  • Elon Musk announced the America Party on July 5 following a poll on X that found 65% of 1.2 million users in favor of a new political movement to restore freedom.
  • He criticized the US two-party system as a “one-party” model that bankrupts the country through waste and corruption.
  • Musk proposed focusing on winning two or three Senate seats alongside eight to ten House seats to secure decisive votes on contentious legislation.
  • The party launch comes two months after Musk resigned as head of the White House Office of Efficiency over disagreements with Trump’s so-called “big and beautiful” fiscal law.
  • President Trump responded by threatening to withdraw subsidies from Musk’s companies and suggesting the billionaire return to South Africa.
