True to his word, Elon Musk has officially announced the formation of a new political party in the United States. After polling his followers on X about whether a new political movement should be created, Musk followed through and launched the America Party. The billionaire, who has been in open conflict with former U.S. President Donald Trump, claims that the current system is effectively a one-party state and that his new initiative aims to shake up American politics.
Musk stated, ‘By a factor of 2 to 1, you want a new political party and you shall have it! When it comes to bankrupting our country with waste & graft, we live in a one-party system, not a democracy. Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom.’
He continued his critique by emphasizing that the U.S. political landscape lacks real representation. ‘When it comes to bankrupting our country with waste and corruption, we are living under a single-party system, not a true democracy,’ Musk added in a follow-up post.
This announcement follows a previous post where Musk asked his followers if they wanted independence from the two-party system, jokingly referring to it as possibly a ‘uni-party’ setup. He declared, ‘Our country needs an alternative to the Democratic-Republican one-party system so that the people can truly have a voice.’
Independence Day, he noted, was the perfect time to pose the question: ‘Should we create the America Party?’ It seems the answer, at least for Musk, is a resounding yes.
