Musk Details Plan for New Political Party

Just a few weeks after departing the White House as a top advisor to President Donald Trump, Elon Musk has started detailing his plans to create a new political party.

In a post to X on Friday, July 4, Musk wrote, "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 post included a poll for followers to vote yes or no, and in a subsequent post, the 54-year-old tech billionaire shared his idea for how a new party could disrupt the Republican-Democrat divide.

"One way to execute on this would be to laser-focus on just 2 or 3 Senate seats and 8 to 10 House districts," he wrote. "Given the razor-thin legislative margins, that would be enough to serve as the deciding vote on contentious laws, ensuring that they serve the true will of the people."

"I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore," he wrote at the time. "This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination. Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it."
