Elon Musk Hints at Forming New Political Party in the U.S.

Potential New Political Party by Elon Musk

Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, may be on the verge of establishing a new political party, as hinted through his recent posts on social media. He mentioned 'The America Party' in his tweets, although he has not explicitly confirmed the creation of a party. His series of posts have sparked widespread speculation.

The timing of this announcement is particularly significant, especially given the ongoing tensions between Musk and former President Donald Trump, a past political ally. Their exchanges on social media have become increasingly vocal, potentially reshaping the landscape of American politics ahead of upcoming elections.

Musk conducted a poll on social media asking if there is a need for a new political party in the U.S., to which 80% of respondents answered affirmatively.

In his post about the poll, Musk stated, 'The people have spoken. America needs a party that represents the 80% in the middle, and that’s what the majority desires. It’s destiny.'

In response to a user's suggestion of the name 'America Party,' Musk remarked that it sounds appealing, stating, 'A party that truly represents America!' He later posted simply, 'The America Party.'

The relationship between Musk and Trump has soured unexpectedly, especially considering Musk's involvement in Trump's cabinet meetings and his presence at the inauguration. Musk had previously been a strong supporter of Trump, even promoting him vigorously. However, following Musk's resignation from the DOGE department, he has become increasingly critical of Trump, claiming that Trump would have lost the election without his support. Conversely, Trump has threatened to revoke subsidies and government contracts awarded to Musk.
