Elon Musk Launch ‘America Party’ to Battle U.S. “One-Party System”

Tech billionaire Elon Musk has launched a new political party in the United States, saying the country is ruled by “a one-party system, not a democracy.”

In a fiery post on X — the platform he owns — Musk declared the formation of the “America Party” on Saturday.

The action comes after a bitter fallout with former ally and U.S. President Donald Trump.

Break From Trump and Vision for a New Movement

Musk, once Trump’s biggest political donor and a key figure in the Republican spending reform push, said he could no longer support a system “bankrupting our country with waste & graft.”

“Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom,” he wrote.

The tech mogul had chaired the short-lived Department of Government Efficiency, a Trump-era initiative to slash bureaucracy and federal jobs. But their alliance collapsed after Musk denounced Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill,” a sweeping domestic spending law that added over $3.4 trillion to the national deficit.

Musk accused Republican lawmakers of betraying their fiscal promises and fueling “debt slavery.”

Trump Responds with Deportation Threats

In response, Trump hinted that Musk could face deportation and lose federal support for his companies.

“We’ll have to take a look,” he said when asked whether Musk’s U.S. citizenship or federal contracts would be affected.

Trump and Elon Musk, former allies part ways

Musk, who was born in South Africa and became a U.S. citizen in 2002, dismissed the threat. Instead, he turned to his X followers to measure the appetite for a new party.

On July 4, he asked: “Do you want independence from the two-party (some would say uniparty) system?” More than 1.2 million users responded.

“By a factor of 2 to 1, you want a new political party and you shall have it!” Musk posted on Saturday, just before announcing the America Party’s formation.
