US EditionHow Elon Musk's Third Party Gamble Could Succeed
UNITED STATES, JUL 7 – Elon Musk’s America Party promotes gun rights but faces doubts about breaking the entrenched US two-party system amid calls for $100 million investment, experts say.
- On Saturday, Elon Musk announced on X the formation of a new political group called the America Party aimed at offering a third option to US voters.
- Musk, born in South Africa, cannot run for president because the US Constitution requires candidates to be natural born citizens.
- The America Party plans to target key House and Senate seats in 2026, but experts warn that building a viable third party requires extensive resources and long-term commitment.
- Over 1.2 million people on X participated in a poll, with 65% expressing support for the new party, while a separate survey revealed that 40% of registered voters might choose the America Party instead of the traditional Republican or Democratic options.
- Although the party is unlikely to secure many seats, it may still impact election outcomes through the spoiler effect; meanwhile, investors are concerned that Musk’s involvement in politics could negatively affect his business ventures.
