Elon Musk indicates his new political party will be pro-gun, pro-bitcoin: 'The Second Amendment is sacred'
"The Second Amendment is sacred," Musk declared in a post on X in response to a post that suggested firearm owners would like to know about the party's position on guns.
Musk also responded to a question about whether party will "embrace Bitcoin."
"Fiat is hopeless, so yes," he wrote.
The party will also stand for free speech and reduced regulations, Musk has indicated.
"Is this the America Party platform?" someone asked in a post on X, writing out a list that included the following: "reduce debt, responsible spending only," "modernize military with ai/robotics," "pro tech, accelerate to win in ai," "less regulation across board but especially in energy," "free speech," "pro natalist," and "centrist policies everywhere else."
"Yeah!" Musk replied.
While the American political landscape is dominated by the two major political parties, Musk is looking to shake things up with the America Party.
"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," Musk declared in part of a post on X.
Musk noted in another post, "Backing a candidate for president is not out of the question, but the focus for the next 12 months is on the House and the Senate."

Veterans Affairs Dept. Scales Back Plans for Vast Job Cuts
The Department of Veterans Affairs has scaled back its effort to reduce its work force by more than 80,000 people, saying on Monday that it intended to cut nearly 30,000 jobs by the end of September instead. The department effectively abandoned its previous plan to fire tens of thousands of workers as part of President Trump's wide-reaching plan to slash the federal bureaucracy. The new target, outlined in a department news release, would slash a work force that numbered 484,000 earlier this year to about 455,000. Nearly 17,000 employees have already left. Instead of firing workers, the rest of the cuts would be made by offering early retirement or severance payments, along with what the department described as 'normal attrition' — the small percentage of employees who quit or move to other jobs every year. 'A departmentwide R.I.F. is off the table,' said Doug Collins, the veterans affairs secretary, referring to a reduction in force, the formal process to initiate mass layoffs in the agency. 'As a result of our efforts, V.A. is headed in the right direction — both in terms of staff levels and customer service,' he said. The department, which provides health care for military veterans, had previously insisted that job cuts would not affect services, and said again on Monday that it had 'multiple safeguards in place' to prevent disruptions. A law signed by President Joseph R. Biden Jr. had significantly expanded the veterans benefits system and set off a record-breaking hiring spree at the department. The department said on Monday that it had continued to cut a backlog of benefits claims after a spike during the Biden administration. In addition to its primary mission of providing care to veterans and serving as the nation's backup health care system, the department also oversees some medical research and manages veterans benefits programs — like pensions, banking, home loans, insurance, job training and funding for college degrees.
