Weeks after criticizing President Donald Trump’s policy agenda during their first “breakup,” and days after President Donald Trump signed his “big, beautiful bill” into law, Elon Musk announced on July 6 that he would be starting a new political party, dubbed the America Party.

“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,” Musk posted after an X poll showed a majority of respondents supported the idea. “Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom.”
