Elon Musk unveils formation of personal political party - Elon Musk unveils the creation of a new political entity, founded by himself.
In a bold move that has sent ripples through the political landscape of the United States, tech entrepreneur Elon Musk has announced the formation of a new political party called the America Party. The party, officially launched in July 2025, aims to "give you back your freedom" and break away from the dominant two-party system that Musk believes is a one-party system, not a democracy [1].
The America Party emphasizes freedom as a central theme, aiming to restore individual liberties. It critiques the existing political system as essentially a one-party system marked by "waste & graft," suggesting a strong stance against government inefficiency and corruption [1]. The formation of the party followed a public poll Musk conducted on his social media platform X, where 65.4% supported the creation of a new party to challenge the current two-party dominance [1].
Musk's move reflects his recent political distancing from prior associations. He served as an advisor to President Trump for several months after his inauguration, but their relationship ended in late May due to a dispute over Trump's tax bill, the "Big Beautiful Bill." The disagreement led to the end of Musk's role in the government department, and the two engaged in mutual threats and criticism during their falling out [1].
As of the latest information, detailed policy specifics beyond the broad goal of enhancing freedom and reducing governmental waste have not been publicly outlined. However, Musk's new party, the America Party, is not a part of the current democratic system, according to his statement [1].
The America Party is positioned as a new political alternative aimed at increasing freedom and reducing systemic inefficiencies in the U.S. government. As Musk's advisory role within the Department for State Efficiency (Doge) was not related to the America Party, this new political entity represents a fresh start for Musk's political involvement [1].
