Elon Musk says he has created a new political party for the US
ELON MUSK, AN ex-ally of US President Donald Trump, has said he has launched a new political party to challenge what the tech billionaire described as the US's 'one-party system.' The world's richest person – and Trump's biggest political donor in the 2024 election – had a bitter falling out with the president after leading the Republican's effort to slash spending and cut federal jobs as head of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Musk 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. Now he has created the so-called America Party, on the back of a social media poll on the website he owns, through which to try and achieve that. 'When it comes to bankrupting our country with waste & graft, we live in a one-party system, not a democracy,' the Space X and Tesla boss posted on X, the social media platform that he owns. 'Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom.' By a factor of 2 to 1, you want a new political party and you shall have it! 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. — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 5, 2025 Musk 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 some two centuries. The yes-or-no survey earned more than 1.2 million responses. 'By a factor of 2 to 1, you want a new political party and you shall have it!' he posted on Saturday. Musk also shared a meme depicting a two-headed snake and the caption 'End the Uniparty.' - 'Laser-focus' on vulnerable lawmakers - Advertisement It is not clear how much impact the new party would have on the 2026 mid-term elections, or on the presidential vote two years after that. The Trump-Musk feud reignited in dramatic fashion late last month as Trump pushed Republicans in Congress to ram through his massive domestic agenda in the form of the One Big Beautiful Bill. Musk expressed fierce opposition to the legislation, and ruthlessly attacked its Republican backers for supporting 'debt slavery.' He vowed to launch a new political party to challenge lawmakers who campaigned on reduced federal spending only to vote for the bill, which experts say will pile an extra $3.4 trillion over a decade onto the US deficit. 'They will lose their primary next year if it is the last thing I do on this Earth,' Musk said earlier this week. After Musk heavily criticized the flagship spending bill — which eventually passed Congress and was signed into law — Trump threatened to deport the tech tycoon and strip federal funds from his businesses. 'We'll have to take a look,' the president told reporters when asked if he would consider deporting Musk, who was born in South Africa and has held US citizenship since 2002. On Friday after posting the poll, Musk laid out a possible political battle plan to pick off vulnerable House and Senate seats and become 'the deciding vote' on key legislation. '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 posted on X. All 435 US House seats are up for grabs every two years, while about one third of the Senate's 100 members, who serve six-year terms, are elected every two years. Some observers were quick to point out how third-party campaigns have historically split the vote — as businessman Ross Perot's independent presidential run in 1992 did when it helped doom George H.W. Bush's re-election bid resulting in Democrat Bill Clinton's victory. 'You are pulling a Ross Perot, and I don't like it,' one X user wrote to Musk.

CNN stops show for 'breaking news' Trump announcement as viewers blast coverage
US President Donald Trump has been "vindicated" following a CNN breaking news report on the economy after his announcement of tariffs. The network interrupted its programming for a report that highlighted the US economy's addition of 147,000 jobs in June and a drop in unemployment rates to 4.1%. Trump declared new tariffs will be imposed on "10 ot 12" nations , stating: "They'll range in value from maybe 60% or 70% tariffs to 10% and 20% tariffs, but they're going to be starting to go out sometime tomorrow." He elaborated: "We've done the final form, and it's basically going to explain what the countries are going to be paying in tariffs."

CNN issued a breaking news announcement on the US economy (Image: CNN) Berman remarked, "And again since March and before, there were predictions that the tariffs and tariffs policy was going to lead to inflation and job losses, and there was a prediction of doom, and that just hasn't happened yet." Foroohar responded, "It hasn't happened yet, and I have been doing a lot of reporting on this topic a nd what I'm hearing is that last few years really since Covid and even before, is companies have realised that your supply chains can be interrupted for lots of reasons and so they've been using technology to really streamline things, there are systems in place and there is a lot more efficiency in the system now. This is a triumph of business, "That said, when we think about who will do well during this period, it will be big businesses, with smaller businesses likely to struggle to cope with the new tariffs. For the latest local news and features on Irish America, visit our homepage here . "That concerns me, because small and mid-size businesses are what fuels a lot of communities around the country, if you see them going under because they can't take the tariff pressure, that could have some job impact, so again, optimistic right now but maybe some issues on the horizon," she concluded. The clip quickly made waves on social media, with one X user commenting, "CNN reports that President Trump's tariffs haven't tanked the economy, they've done the opposite. Trump is vindicated yet again." Another chimed in, "CNN, trying their hardest to make good news sound bad." A third remarked: "Yet she couldn't get herself to applaud DJT." A fourth expressed frustration, "These idiots still don't understand that tariffs are a negotiating tool. They think he's caved by lowering them when in fact he starts out with the highest knowing they will be lowered in negotiations. Are they this dense?". While a fifth pointed out, "Every negative angle they could dream of was spliced into that. Loved the lie about 'this is years of great jobs reports now' at the end - did I imagine that? Do they not realize that all Biden's jobs reports were fabricated & later discredited?" For all the latest news straight to your inbox, sign up for our FREE newsletters here .
