Musk announces forming of 'America Party' in further break from Trump

UNITED STATES, JUL 08 – Elon Musk aims to disrupt US politics by targeting key congressional seats and backing crucial votes to challenge the entrenched two-party dominance, with 65% public support in a recent poll.

  • In early July 2025, Elon Musk revealed that he had established a new political organization named the America Party.
  • Musk's decision follows a rift with President Trump over federal spending and tax legislation adding trillions to the debt.
  • The America Party aims to serve as a platform for the moderate majority, promoting reform and practical solutions to challenge the entrenched, polarized two-party system.
  • Polls show 73% of Republican voters view Musk positively, but Trump and Florida Governor DeSantis dismissed the third party as 'ridiculous' and said it would help Democrats.
  • Musk may financially support primary challengers to Republicans who backed Trump's legislation, potentially affecting upcoming elections and creating uncertainty for the GOP.
