New York, July 6 (NationPress) Tesla CEO, Elon Musk, has revealed the establishment of a new political entity in the United States, termed the “America Party,” with the goal of challenging what he deems the country’s entrenched “one-party system.”
This initiative signifies a significant political pivot for Musk, a former supporter of US President Donald Trump, who previously stood as one of his most notable financial backers.
The head of Tesla and SpaceX made the announcement during a post on X on Saturday, where he accused both leading parties of fostering unchecked government spending and corruption. He asserted that the nation no longer operates as a democracy but as a cohesive political apparatus fueled by waste and self-serving interests.
"America is being bankrupted by bipartisan waste and corruption. This is not democracy — it’s a one-party system in disguise,” Musk expressed. “The America Party is established to restore your freedom."
The unveiling comes after a notable rift between Musk and Trump, who were once political companions. Tensions escalated during Musk’s short tenure as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), where he advocated for strict spending cuts and a reduction in federal workforce policies that clashed with Trump’s expansive domestic budget.
Musk has since emerged as a vocal critic of Trump’s financial policy, particularly a recent extensive spending bill that he warns could significantly elevate the national debt. Following the passage of this legislation, Musk vowed to oppose any lawmaker who endorsed it, irrespective of their party.
Musk announced the new party on the July 4 holiday, conducting a poll to gauge whether Americans desired “independence from the two-party (or uniparty) system.” According to Musk, the poll results indicated a 2-to-1 preference for the establishment of a new political movement.
“By overwhelming demand, you want a new party. Now, you have it,” Musk declared.
