Elon Musk's America Party: Still MIA After a Month
In a bold move, tech entrepreneur Elon Musk announced the formation of the "America Party" on July 5, 2025. The announcement came after an online poll on X/Twitter garnered over 5.6 million votes in favour of the idea[1]. However, a month later, the party is yet to make any significant progress.
The America Party, if established, aims to represent the "80% in the middle" of the political spectrum, a group Musk believes is currently underrepresented in the U.S. two-party system[5]. Yet, as of August 2025, no formal filings, no official candidates, and minimal organizational development have been reported[2][4].
Public sentiment appears mixed. While there is a general appetite among Americans for a viable third party, fewer express enthusiasm specifically for one founded by Musk[4]. Political analysts emphasize the entrenched difficulties third parties face in the American two-party system, suggesting significant structural challenges to the America Party's success[1].
Recent polling suggests that 46% of Americans think a third party is necessary in the current system[3]. Notably, Mark Cuban, the head of the Democratic Party, has suggested Musk's plans for a new party should be taken seriously[2].
Musk's level of commitment to the America Party is uncertain. His passion for projects is often reflected in his work habits, but it remains to be seen if the America Party will be one of those projects[4]. For now, Musk has not mentioned the America Party for weeks[6].
In conclusion, the America Party remains a largely conceptual proposal without concrete advancement. Musk’s ongoing involvement in GOP donations and continued feud with former President Trump add complexity, but no substantive political infrastructure has yet materialized[2][4].
