Elon Musk Launches ‘America Party’ After Fallout with Trump
Billionaire Elon Musk has announced the formation of a new political party—the America Party—following a dramatic fallout with former ally and President Donald Trump over a recently passed domestic policy bill.
“When it comes to bankrupting our country with waste & graft, we live in a one-party system, not a democracy,” Musk posted on X. “Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom.”
Musk, formerly Trump’s top campaign donor and close adviser, had backed the administration’s government efficiency drive. But he strongly opposed Trump’s latest policy bill, warning it could add trillions to the national debt. He described the Republican agenda as “debt sl+very.”
Tensions between the two escalated last month after Musk’s initial criticism, briefly cooled, then reignited as the bill neared passage. Trump signed it into law on Friday.
The America Party, Musk says, will push a fiscally conservative agenda, though it’s unclear if the party has filed any official paperwork with the Federal Election Commission. So far, no platform details have been shared beyond Musk’s emphasis on spending cuts.
Though Musk and Trump share conservative views on social issues, the rift highlights deep divides over economic policy. Trump has since lashed out, thr+atennning to review government contracts with Musk’s companies and calling the efficiency department Musk once led a “m+nster that may go back and eat Elon.”
Musk said his party would focus on supporting candidates in a limited number of House and Senate races in the upcoming midterms.
Experts say launching a third party faces steep financial and legal hurdles. Despite high-profile attempts—like Ross Perot’s 1992 run—no third-party candidate has won a U.S. presidential election in modern history.
