Elon Musk announces formation of ‘America Party’ after President Trump signs bill

Elon Musk says that the bipartite system is broken, and it has just launched a new political party to prove it.

On Saturday, Musk announced on X, the social media platform he has, the formation of the “American party”, calling it a direct response to what he described as a corrupt political establishment which no longer represents the American people.

The announcement followed a viral survey of July 4 on X, where Musk asked if the voters wanted the independence of what he called the “system to two parties (some would say Unitarty)”.

Over 1.2 million votes were expressed, 65.4% saying “yes”.

“By a factor of 2 to 1, you want a new political party and you have it,” Musk said on Saturday. “When it comes to going bankrupt our country with waste and transplants, we live in a single party system, not a democracy. Today, the American party is formed to make your freedom.”

This decision came just after President Donald Trump signed the “big and beautiful bill” on Friday at the White House.

The radical legislation of 3.3 billions of dollars includes tax reductions, infrastructure expenditure and recovery measures and has aroused criticism of tax conservatives and libertarians. Although Musk has not referred the bill directly in its American party posts, the calendar suggests a growing friction between the billionaire and the president. Musk previously warned that the uncontrolled expenses of both parties threaten the long -term health of the economy.

The new party, according to Musk’s publications, will target some key seats in the congress. The objective is to create a swing block powerful enough to maintain the balance of powers and to block what Musk considers as the worst excesses of Republicans and Democrats.

Some on the right have expressed their concern in the comments section that a third party could divide the conservative vote and help Democrats more easily win.

“Your third party will disproportionately take the votes of the right compared to the left and give the left -wing path to power on the left,” said conservative commentator Shawn Frarah.

Others, like Joey Mannarino, urged Musk to focus rather on the reform of the GOP from the inside.

Critics also stressed that the X survey was informal, without limiting itself, American and vulnerable robots.

Third parties have traditionally had trouble gaining ground in American politics because the system is built for two dominant parties. With the electoral college, winning elections and strict access laws to the ballot, foreigners cannot compete significantly. Even when a third party candidate takes fire, he rarely lasts beyond a single electoral cycle.

One of the greatest third efforts in recent history was Ross Perot’s race in 1992.

He obtained almost 19% of the popular vote as an independence, but did not win a single vote in the electoral college. It was the closest that a third -party candidate arrived at the White House after the famous Bulled Moose party of Teddy Roosevelt president in 1912 against his online protégé, William Howard Taft.

Others, like Ralph Nader, tried with the Green Party, and Gary Johnson with the Libertarian Party, but no third -party candidate almost won the presidency.
