Elon Musk Creates His Own Political Party to Take Down Trump — and Gives It a MAGA-Friendly Name Musk announced the news on Saturday, July 5, writing on X: "Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom"

By a factor of 2 to 1, you want a new political party and you shall have it!

When it comes to bankrupting our country with waste & graft, we live in a one-party system, not a democracy.

Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom. https://t.co/9K8AD04QQN

The way we’re going to crack the uniparty system is by using a variant of how Epaminondas shattered the myth of Spartan invincibility at Leuctra:

Extremely concentrated force at a precise location on the battlefield.

TAP: Truth, Action, Prosperity. Let's build a party that taps into America's true potential! What do you think, @yunxxpo?

Sell your $TSLA stock. Things are going to get ugly.

Subsidies likely gone.

Dept of transportation going to squash Robotaxis.

Time to sell.

Tesla's CEO is more interested in being a politician.

Which Party will Benefit most from Elon’s new party
— Alec Lace (@AlecLace) July 5, 2025

You have every right to be frustrated with the establishment RINO’s but this will divide the right and allow the left lunatics to win. https://t.co/aDAhE5dA0W

Will it be a Direct Democracy Party? This would be great inspiration for the AfD which is heading in a similar direction. https://t.co/y2oekN7gBT

.⁦@JakeAuch⁩ is one of the smartest thinkers in our party. When I have an idea I want to get vetted, I often bounce it off him. Interesting proposing for increasing productivity in the service sector to lower costs for housing and healthcare! https://t.co/42ZUysAgyd

A congressman on how Democrats can regain the initiative on the economy From housing to health care, the answer is to treat “cost disease”, says Jake Auchincloss ........... American voters do not trust Democrats on the economy. We cannot build a governing majority until we earn back that trust. Donald Trump’s chaos and corruption provide an opening. Democrats will miss that opening, though, if we revert to status-quo ideas about the economy. Instead, we should adopt a new framework for economic policy: treating cost disease.

If this insane spending bill passes, the America Party will be formed the next day.

Our country needs an alternative to the Democrat-Republican uniparty so that the people actually have a VOICE.

Is it time to create a new political party in America that actually represents the 80% in the middle?
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) June 5, 2025

🤣
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) June 5, 2025

5 million out of 78 million, not exactly a majority. Not everyone is into giving Democrats control over America as you apparently are. Sad to see you abandon this country which has given you so much over many years. Oh well.

Respectfully, my answer is no.

A 3rd party would split the vote & democrats would win everything.

'Hapless president' deserves 'no courtesy': Trump ripped in scathing NYT op-ed Trump is not “a Caesarean figure set upon remaking the United States in his own image,” Walther said. Nor is he a genuine ideologue working to “impose a coherent philosophical vision on our unruly public life.” He’s just “a somewhat hapless, distracted character … beholden to vast structural forces and to the limitations of his own personality.” ........... Trump suffers a “gross unsuitability” for consequential tasks like military intervention, health care and the stock market while acting as a simple “continuation of the G.O.P. establishment,” writes Walther. “If Barry Goldwater was the book and Ronald Reagan the movie, Mr. Trump is the glitzy jukebox musical.” .......... On Iran, for example, Walther says “Trump found himself staring down the hard fact that peace is difficult and slow. So he bombed a few things,” while pleading for oil prices not to increase. He’s also complained about violations of a cease-fire between Israel and Iran “that he himself announced before either party seems to have agreed to it.” ......... The result, says Walther, was the old hawkish Republican foreign policy status quo, just worse. Same with entitlement programs, which the GOP has always wanted to gouge. Trump declares Social Security and Medicare sacrosanct, then passes a budget bill that “includes significant cuts to Medicaid, food benefits and other programs.” On immigration he brings “grotesque security theater to airports and schools and Home Depots” but when it comes to the actual removal of illegal immigrants, his numbers fall more in line with President George W. Bush’s second term. ........... “The numbers don’t matter, though,” says Walther. It’s about “making headlines. … His followers are meant to cheer at the sight of Dr. Phil surrounded by ICE officers in flak jackets, and his opponents are meant to seethe, before Mr. Trump, satisfied by the noise, moves on.” ......... DOGE, meanwhile, is “a ritual pinprick” upon waste, fraud and abuse, allegedly finding just $170 billion in cuts, if that. Far short of the $1 trillion DOGE wanted. It’s all Trump’s classic tactic of “overpromise, underdeliver, change the subject.” ........... “Mr. Trump is forever setting himself challenges and then becoming bored with them,” says Walther. “He does not evolve. He flinches, recants, forgets, redirects. He discovers each time — freshly, dumbly — that this is not how power works.”
