Elon Musk has launched the America Party to challenge Trump and the US political system. The tech billionaire said America no longer works as a democracy but instead operates under “a one-party system.”
Musk, who leads Tesla and SpaceX, made this bold move on Saturday. He accused both major US parties of wasteful spending and corruption. Musk was once one of Donald Trump’s biggest supporters during the last election. However, their friendship collapsed after a heated clash over Trump’s spending plans.
This shocking move follows Trump’s recent threat to deport Musk and cut federal funds from his companies. In response, Musk has now launched the America Party to directly fight Trump’s influence.
Musk revealed the America Party through his platform, X. He posted, “Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom.” He also shared an image of a two-headed snake with the words “End the Uniparty.”
Musk Says America Party Will Battle Trump and US Spending
Musk explained that the America Party’s main goal is to battle Trump’s spending policies and wasteful government practices. He strongly opposed Trump’s massive domestic spending bill, calling it “debt slavery.”
He also vowed to defeat lawmakers who supported Trump’s bill, despite claiming they were against wasteful budgets. “They will lose their primary next year if it is the last thing I do on this Earth,” Musk said earlier this week.
Musk’s America Party is now seen as a direct challenge to Trump, especially after Trump’s threat of deportation. Musk announced that his party will target Senate and House races to remove Trump’s loyalists from office.
Musk’s America Party Targets Trump After Deportation Threat
Musk’s decision to launch the America Party came right after Trump threatened to deport him. This dramatic fallout has now become the center of US politics.
Trump told reporters, “We’ll have to take a look,” when asked about deporting Musk. This threat only pushed Musk further. He then posted a poll asking Americans if they wanted independence from the two-party system. Over 1.2 million people voted, and the majority said yes.
“By a factor of 2 to 1, you want a new political party and you shall have it!” Musk posted after the poll.
Many observers now see the America Party as Musk’s personal mission to challenge Trump’s control. Some warn this could split votes in future elections. One user told Musk, “You are pulling a Ross Perot, and I don’t like it.”
Still, Musk shows no signs of stopping. He plans to target key seats in the next elections and shift power away from Trump’s circle.
Bottom Line
Elon Musk’s America Party has officially entered the political scene with one clear goal to battle Trump and the US political system. This move follows their public fallout and Trump’s deportation threat.
