Elon Musk launches 'America Party', claims 'to give you back your freedom'
SpaceX and Tesla boss Elon Musk, who is a former ally of President Donald Trump, said on Saturday that he launched a new political party in the United States to challenge what the tech billionaire described as the country's "one-party system."
"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," he posted on X.
"By a factor of 2 to 1, you want a new political party and you shall have it!" he posted on Saturday.
The way we’re going to crack the uniparty system is by using a variant of how Epaminondas shattered the myth of Spartan invincibility at Leuctra:

Extremely concentrated force at a precise location on the battlefield.
Musk, who was Trump's biggest political donor during the 2024 election, had a bitter fallout with the US President after leading the Republicans' effort to slash spending and cut federal jobs as head of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
The Tesla chief has clashed with Trump over the president's massive domestic spending plan, saying it would explode the US debt, and vowed to do everything in his power to defeat lawmakers who voted for it.
He even cited a poll, uploaded on Friday, US Independence Day, in which he asked whether respondents "want independence from the two-party (some would say uniparty) system" that has dominated US politics for approximately two centuries.
The Trump-Musk feud reignited dramatically late last month as Trump pushed Republicans in Congress to pass his massive domestic agenda in the form of the One Big Beautiful Bill.
