Billionaire Elon Musk has launched the “America Party,” a new political force aimed at breaking the grip of the U.S. two-party system. Announced on X after a viral poll showed 65% support for a third party, Musk’s move follows his public clash with President Donald Trump over a $3.3 trillion spending bill he called “fiscally reckless.”
The America Party plans to target a handful of 2026 midterm races, focusing on a few Senate and House seats to wield influence as a swing vote. Backed by Musk’s fortune, the party will support candidates opposing wasteful spending, starting with Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.). While promising pro-technology and fiscal conservative policies, details remain sparse.
Analysts question the party’s viability given the challenges of ballot access and voter loyalty to the Republican-Democratic duopoly. Public reaction is mixed, with 40% of Americans open to the idea, per a Quantus Insights poll, though some criticize Musk’s motives. Trump hinted at retaliating against Musk’s businesses, escalating tensions.
The America Party’s success hinges on Musk’s ability to build a movement in just 16 months.
