Elon Musk announces new 'America' party after slamming Trump's megabill
Elon Musk announced the formation of a new political party amid his strident criticism of President Donald Trump's signature legislation. "When it comes to bankrupting our country with waste & graft, we live in a one-party system, not a democracy," Musk wrote on his social media platform X on July 5. "Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom." The move follows his falling-out with former close ally President Donald Trump over spending levels in the president's mega-bill and concerns about it increasing the federal debt. Musk strongly criticized the bill, attempted to rally opposition to it among Republicans in Congress, and called for a new political party in response. Trump signed the bill into law on July 4. Musk − the world's richest person, worth $405 billion according to Forbes − spent nearly $290 billion to help Trump and other Republicans get elected. In the opening months of Trump's presidency, Musk led the effort to slash federal agencies through the Department of Government Efficiency. The two have feuded in recent weeks, though, as Musk has strongly criticized Trump's signature bill, which includes tax cuts, increased spending on immigration enforcement and the military and deep spending cuts in Medicaid. The legislation - dubbed by Trump the "big beautiful bill" - adds $3.4 trillion to the national debt over a decade, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, and includes a $5 trillion increase in the debt ceiling. Musk has railed against the legislation's impact on the debt and threatened to boost primary challengers against those who supported the bill, which included all but two Republicans in the House and three in the Senate. "Every member of Congress who campaigned on reducing government spending and then immediately voted for the biggest debt increase in history should hang their head in shame!" Musk wrote before Trump signed the legislation. "And they will lose their primary next year if it is the last thing I do on this Earth." Musk polled the idea of a new political party July 4 on his social media platform X. "Independence Day is the perfect time to ask if you want independence from the two-party (some would say uniparty) system!" Musk wrote, before citing the poll results − which were 2-1 in favor − on July 5. "You want a new political party and you shall have it!" He declared. The new party might be active in a limited number of races, Musk suggested. "One way to execute on this would be to laser-focus on just 2 or 3 Senate seats and 8 to 10 House districts," Musk wrote. "Given the razor-thin legislative margins, that would be enough to serve as the deciding vote on contentious laws, ensuring that they serve the true will of the people." Musk's new round of criticism comes after he had taken steps to repair his strained relationship with the president ‒ including personally apologizing for insults he made during his combative exit from the Trump administration last month Trump earlier this week threatened to cut off the billions of dollars in subsidies that Musk's companies receive from the federal government. However, in May, after spending millions to unsuccessfully influence a Wisconsin state Supreme Court race the previous month,Musk suggested he would cease his political spending as he shifts his attention back to his companies Tesla and SpaceX.

Elon Musk claims he has ‘formed' his own political party after fallout with Trump: ‘Give you back your freedom'
Elon Musk says he has formed a new political party amid his ongoing feud with President Donald Trump. Musk asked his 221.7 million X followers to vote in a poll deciding whether he should form the new 'America Party' on Friday. The tech mogul first threatened for form a new political party earlier this week if Congress passed Trump's sweeping tax and spending legislation, which he calls the 'Big, Beautiful Bill.' The billionaire has argued that the legislation, which the president signed into law on Friday, will increase the deficit by trillions. After 65 percent of respondents voted 'yes' on his poll, Musk says he's following through. 'By a factor of 2 to 1, you want a new political party and you shall have it,' Musk wrote Saturday afternoon. '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 added. Trump's 'Big, Beautiful Bill' passed in the Senate with a tie-breaking vote from Vice President JD Vance on Tuesday. The House passed the bill on Thursday, and Trump signed it into law during a Military Family Picnic celebration for Independence Day. The bill provides sweeping tax cuts — particularly to wealthy Americans — while curbing access to Medicaid and food assistance programs for millions of people. The legislation also provides billions more for defense and immigration enforcement. Musk, once known as Trump's 'First Buddy,' sparked a public feud with the president last month over the bill, arguing it will increase the budget deficit by $2.5 trillion. 'I'm sorry, but I just can't stand it anymore,' Musk wrote of Trump's bill on June 3. 'This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination.' Musk spent several months this year leading the Department of Government Efficiency's efforts to slash government spending. Under his leadership, DOGE laid off hundreds of thousands of federal employees, hollowed out several agencies and terminated thousands of government contracts and grants. Musk doubled down on June 5, calling the legislation the 'Big Ugly Bill.' The billionaire also flirted with the idea of forming a new political party, but didn't offer specifics. Musk wrote: 'Is it time to create a new political party in America that actually represents the 80% in the middle?' Trump hit back on Truth Social, accusing Musk of going 'crazy' because he 'took away his [electric vehicle] mandate.' Less than an hour later, Musk escalated the feud and alleged that Trump appears in the unreleased Epstein Files. 'Time to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files,' Musk wrote. 'That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!' The pair exchanged a few more jabs until June 6, when tensions seemed to ease. Musk expressed 'regret' on June 11 for the posts he made about the president, while Trump revealed he had 'no hard feelings' toward Musk. The peace didn't last long, though. This week, Musk pledged to fund primary challengers running against Republicans who supported the bill. 'Every member of Congress who campaigned on reducing government spending and then immediately voted for the biggest debt increase in history should hang their head in shame!' the billionaire wrote on Monday. 'And they will lose their primary next year if it is the last thing I do on this Earth,' he added. Nearly every Republican in Congress voted to pass the bill, with just three senators and two representatives joining Democrats in voting against it. Trump responded by threatening to cut of the billions of dollars in federal subsidies Musk's companies receive. The president also threatened to 'take a look at' deporting Elon Musk to South Africa, where he was born and raised for several years.
