On July 5, 2025, Elon Musk shook up American politics by officially launching the America Party—a movement he says will break the nation’s entrenched “one-party system” dominated by Democrats and Republicans.
The announcement came just a day after Musk ran a poll on his platform X (formerly Twitter) on Independence Day, asking followers if they wanted a new party. With 65% voting yes, Musk declared, “You shall have it!” and followed through immediately with the new party’s launch.
This bold move also came after a very public clash with President Donald Trump over a massive federal spending bill Musk called a “disgusting abomination” for adding trillions to the national debt. Though Musk himself cannot run for president because he was born in South Africa, he’s vowed to use his wealth and influence to support America Party candidates in key House and Senate races.
By promising a “real alternative” to the traditional two-party system, Musk hopes to disrupt U.S. politics and rally voters who feel unheard or disillusioned. Whether it succeeds or fails, the America Party has already started intense debate about the future of American democracy, partisanship, and the power of billionaire activism in shaping elections.
