Elon Musk has officially launched a new political faction — The American Party.
On Saturday, Musk took to his platform, X, to announce the birth of the movement, citing overwhelming support from everyday Americans sick and tired of being trampled by both Democrats and establishment Republicans.
“By a factor of 2 to 1, you want a new political party and you shall have it,” Musk wrote.
“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.”
The post came shortly after a July 4th-themed poll on X, where Musk asked: “Should we create the America Party?”
A staggering 1.2 million Americans participated in his poll. 65.4% said YES and 34.6% said NO.
Musk wrote, “One way to execute on this would be to laser-focus on just 2 or 3 Senate seats and 8 to 10 House districts. Given the razor-thin legislative margins, that would be enough to serve as the deciding vote on contentious laws, ensuring that they serve the true will of the people.”
