US EditionElon Musk’s New Party Is a Distracting Sideshow Unlikely to Succeed
UNITED STATES, JUL 9 – Vacancies and lack of quorum at the Federal Election Commission hinder approval of Elon Musk's America Party, delaying its ability to fundraise and operate nationally, officials said.
- On July 5, 2025, Elon Musk revealed the creation of the America Party, though the related FEC paperwork was quickly removed amid questions about its legitimacy.
- The party faces delays because the Federal Election Commission lacks the four-member quorum due to resignations and Senate delays in confirmations.
- Musk’s America Party aims to reduce national debt, protect free speech, and foster innovation, targeting several Senate and House seats despite his ineligibility for president as an immigrant.
- Political analysts warn that this third-party effort could destabilize the American political system by splitting votes and complicating governance, while Republicans plan to contest Musk’s ballot access aggressively.
- Consequently, Musk’s party remains in indefinite standstill with uncertain prospects, as funding, ballot access, and effective organization pose substantial challenges ahead.
