Musk forms 3rd party "American Party" in US
On Saturday, July 5, the Tesla founder and former adviser to President Donald Trump announced on X that he has formed the America Party. The announcement came one day after Musk, 54, posted a poll on the platform with the message, "Independence Day is the perfect time to ask if you want independence from the two-party (some would say uniparty) system! Should we create the America Party?"
The poll — which garnered more than 1.2 million votes — resulted in 65.4% of respondents voting "yes."He followed up with another X post on Saturday announcing the launch of the America Party.On Monday, June 30, Musk vowed that if the Republican-controlled Congress passed Trump's "Big, Beautiful Bill" — which the Tesla CEO has repeatedly slammed — he would form and fund the "America Party" in an effort to oust GOP lawmakers.
“If this insane spending bill passes, the America Party will be formed the next day,” he wrote in a post on X. “Our country needs an alternative to the Democrat-Republican uniparty so that the people actually have a VOICE.”
