Elon Musk has announced the formation of a new political party. It will be called the “America Party.” He made the announcement on Twitter. His decision came after a Twitter poll showed strong support.
In the X post, Elon Musk said the poll results showed a two-to-one demand for a new party. He believes Americans are tired of the current system.
In his post, he criticized the political structure in the United States. He said the country does not have real democracy. According to him, waste and corruption have taken over.
He accused both major parties of acting like one and believes this has harmed the nation. His goal is to offer a fresh political option.
With America celebrating independence on July 4, Elon Musk said in a previous X post it was the right moment to talk about political freedom. He said people need a way to take back their voice and a new party is a tool for that change.
The X owner said the America Party will work for the people as citizens deserve more choices and less control from elites. However, he’s yet to offer any detailed plans such as information about candidates, policies, or funding.
In reaction to the announcement, some users cheered the move. Others expressed concern about another billionaire in politics.
This isn’t the first time he has spoken about politics. In recent years, he’s made headlines for criticizing government spending, regulations, and political correctness.
His companies have also been involved in political debates. But with this announcement, he is stepping in with a direct political effort.
Starting a party in the US takes time and effort. There are legal steps and ballot access issues. But Elon Musk has resources and a large audience to make it happen.
The announcement may push other leaders to respond. It could add pressure on both parties. Whether the America Party succeeds or not, it has already started a new political debate.
With the next election nearing, this could shape future conversations. Still, Elon Musk has once again changed the narrative, this time, in politics. Earlier this week, Musk threatened to form a new political party in the US after the Republican Party proposed a $5 trillion debt ceiling hike.
