Two days ago, Elon Musk has announced the creation of a new political party, the “America Party“
The decision came the day following the signature by the President Donald Trump of an imposing spending law nicknamed “Big Beautiful Bill“. According to the projection of the congress budget office, the measure will increase the national debt by 3.4 trillion dollars. Musk has criticized the law calling it” politically suicidal “and” destructive “.
Donald Trump defines Musk a “street disaster”
After the announcement of the new party, Donald Trump attacked Musk. The president wrote that the entrepreneur seems to “go out of control” and that it has become “a street disaster” in the last five weeks. Trump also stressed The ineffectiveness of third political forces in the United Statesdefine only sources of “disorders and chaos” in a system designed for two great parties.
Trump reiterated that Musk will not get real political supportassociating his failure with his opposition to the recent signed law, which includes conspicuous cuts to medical expenses and an increase in the debt of 5 trillion dollars.
Scott Beesent, secretary of the treasure, also sent the Muskian opa to the sender on the Republicans. “Nobody is good like him, to manage those companies – he said – for this I imagine that his various boards have not liked the announcement (the foundation of the party, editor’s note), and encourage him to focus his attention on the entrepreneur’s work, not on politics”. As if to say: Elon returns to manage Tesla that we think about the country. Will it be enough?
If the tones are more or less polite from the administration, the sorceress world is instead fiery. Steve Bannon called Musk “The fool, the buffoon”an “non -American that founds the America party”. “My dear you are not American, you are South African. You should be expelled”
The contrasts between Musk and Trump
Elon Musk And Donald Trumponce allied, have seen their relationship deteriorate in recent weeks. Musk, known for his initial commitment in the Trump Administration as director of the now closed Department for Government efficiency, donated 277 million dollars to support Trump’s election campaign in 2024. However, the signature of the spending law and differences regarding the increase in debt led to public clashes between the two.
Musk also threatened to support challengers in the primary for the members of the congress who supported the law, promising to commit themselves to remove them from the political scene. Before their breakdown, Musk had tried to mend the relationships with Trump, apologizing for some insults addressed during his farewell to the administration.
Strategy and ambitions of America Party
Musk said that “America Party” will initially focus on a few but decisive electoral competitions. Proposed to aim for two or three seats in the Senate and eight or ten districts of the room, with the aim of obtaining a block swing able to decide on controversial laws. The idea is to push the congress to represent what he called “the true will of the people”.
The party should make its debut in the elections of half mandate of 2026making it a potential force to keep an eye on in the American political panorama. The watchwords? Freedom. Privacy. Zero duties. And seen for qualified workers.
The reactions and consequences
The creation of the new party has aroused concern between the Republicans, who are evaluating the strategies to counter the candidates supported by the entrepreneur. Trump threatened to terminate federal contracts with Musk companiesincluding Tesla and Spacex. In addition, political experts claim that a third party could divide conservative votes, thus favoring the Democratic Party.
Will Musk do it? Difficult to say. Fondating a party is not simple, but at the bottom Elon aims to conquer Mars. And this, in theory, must seem like a walk.
