Musk Announces Formation of America Party to Check Trump’s Dominance

Billionaire entrepreneur and former Trump ally Elon Musk has announced the formation of a new political party in the United States, aimed at disrupting what he described as the nation’s entrenched “one-party system.”

In a statement posted on X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday, Musk unveiled the America Party, positioning it as a movement to “restore freedom” and challenge the political establishment.

“When it comes to bankrupting our country with waste and graft, we live in a one-party system, not a democracy,” Musk wrote. “Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom.”
Musk’s entry into the political arena comes after a high-profile falling out with President Donald Trump, whom he previously supported and advised, particularly on issues related to budget cuts and federal workforce reduction.

Sources close to the matter said Musk’s split from Trump became increasingly public following disagreements over economic policy and governance.

While the details of the America Party’s platform remain sparse, Musk’s comments suggest a populist, anti-establishment agenda focused on curbing government spending, reforming bureaucracy, and increasing individual freedoms.

The announcement sparked immediate reactions online, with “America Party” trending across social media platforms.

Supporters applauded Musk for “challenging the elite,” while critics accused him of stoking division and lacking a clear policy vision.

As of Saturday evening, no formal policy documents or leadership structure for the America Party had been released, but Musk promised “more announcements in the coming weeks.”

If successful, the America Party could mark one of the most significant third-party efforts in modern U.S. history—adding yet another layer of unpredictability to the American political landscape.
