On Independence Day, Elon Musk throws a question to all Americans: If you want ...
has a question for all Americans on
Independence day
. The tech billionaire has shared a poll on microblogging platform X (formerly Twitter) asking whether he should end the
two-party system
in the US and create his proposed 'America party'. 'Independence Day is the perfect time to ask if you want independence from the two-party (some would say uniparty) system! Should we create the
America Party
?,' he wrote in the post, followed by a simple yes and no poll.
In a consecutive post, Musk wrote:
'One way to execute on this would be to laser-focus on just 2 or 3 Senate seats and 8 to 10 House districts.
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.'

When Elon Musk proposed to form America Party
Musk first floated the idea of forming a third party earlier this month when he publicly criticised the 'One Big Beautiful Bill'. As the House Republicans has narrowly passed the spending bill in a 218–214 vote on July 3, Musk has reignited the debate with his latest Twitter post. 'Utterly insane and destructive. It will destroy millions of jobs in America and cause immense strategic harm to our country!,' Musk has said in criticism of the post.
In a previous Twitter post, Musk criticised the Trump administration's 'One Big Beautiful Bill'. He that if the 'One Big, Beautiful Bill' passes in the Senate, he will immediately move forward with launching a new political party called the 'America Party.' Musk argued that the United States currently functions as a one-party system dominated by financial self-interest.
His post then read, 'If this insane spending bill passes, the America Party will be formed the next day. Our country needs an alternative to the Democrat-Republican uniparty so that the people actually have a VOICE.'

‘And you want to build Disneyland in Haryana?': Ex-Jet Airways CEO slams Gurugram authorities over filthy streets and stray cattle
Former Jet Airways CEO Sanjiv Kapoor has sparked fresh outrage over Gurgaon's civic neglect after posting photos of garbage-strewn streets and cows surrounded by trash in Sector 44. Sharing the images on July 5, 2025, Kapoor called out local authorities for the worsening conditions and questioned the ambition of building a Disneyland in Haryana , calling it 'ludicrous.' Posting on X (formerly Twitter), Kapoor included photos of overflowing garbage piles lining roads and a screengrab from Google Maps pinpointing the location. He did not mince words in his criticism of the Gurugram civic administration. 'Months later, worse than ever before. Shame on you, @MunCorpGurugram @DC_Gurugram @cmohry. No respect for the land, for tax-paying citizens, and not even for the cows! And you want to build a Disneyland in Haryana? Ludicrous!' Kapoor wrote. He also appealed directly to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, tagging him and urging immediate action under the Swachh Bharat Mission . '@narendramodi ji, please do something! #SwachhBharat,' he added. Live Events — TheSanjivKapoor (@TheSanjivKapoor) In a follow-up post, Kapoor slammed the bureaucratic response to citizen complaints, mocking the suggestion that people report garbage through an app. 'And the babus have the gall to say, 'We are building an app, send us photos and locations of the garbage through that.' Do they drive around blindfolded or what? I'm sure the app's launch will be tom-tommed, and then they'll consider the job done.' The post quickly went viral, prompting a wave of public support and renewed scrutiny of Gurgaon's long-standing waste management problems. Several users echoed Kapoor's frustration, with many pointing out similar conditions in other residential sectors. One user commented, 'Millennium in Millennium City stands for tons of garbage filling streets.' Another suggested systemic reform: 'Possibly time now to privatise municipal corporations in top metro cities. If power discoms can be handed over, this should be easier.' Others shared personal grievances: 'Appreciate the post, Sir. Sadly, nothing will change. Moved to Gurgaon a few months back and already regret it.' Kapoor's remarks come weeks after he defended Air India amid backlash over the AI-171 crash in Ahmedabad this June, marking yet another moment where the aviation veteran has taken a strong public stand on major issues.

India second most satisfying democracy for citizens: Pew Research
New Delhi: India, the world's largest democracy, ranks second among nations as 74 per cent of people here feel satisfied about the working of the system of representative governance, according to Pew Research Centre (PRC) in a survey available on Saturday. Citing India as a shining example at the time of a gloomy public outlook towards democracy in 12-high income nations, the 'Spring 2025 Global Attitudes Survey' of PRC said that the nation of over 99 crore voters is ranked just behind Sweden (75 per cent) in the survey covering 23 countries. The survey's findings also show that economic perceptions are an important factor behind people feeling satisfied with the functioning of democracy in their countries. 'Countries where large shares of the public say the economy is in good shape also tend to have large shares who are satisfied with their democracy,' said PRC, putting India in the coveted club of five nations where public perception about good functioning democracy and economy is high. India, Indonesia, Mexico, the Netherlands and Sweden are examples of countries where people are relatively happy with both their democracy and their economy, said PRC. In Indonesia, 66 per cent of the population is satisfied with democracy. In Mexico, 51per cent of the citizens are satisfied with democracy while in the Netherlands the figure stands at 60 per cent. Sharing other findings, the PRC said that. since 2024. satisfaction with democracy has decreased in five countries (Israel, Japan, Kenya, Poland and South Korea) and increased in five others (Canada, Germany, South Africa, the UK and the US). Across all 23 countries surveyed, a median of 58 per cent of adults are dissatisfied with how their democracy is working, while 42 per cent are satisfied, said the survey. In 12 high-income countries – Canada, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, the UK and the US – a median of 64 per cent of adults say they are dissatisfied with the way their democracy is working, while a median of 35 per cent are satisfied. Four of the countries where satisfaction grew held national elections between our 2024 and 2025 surveys. In each one, views changed among partisan groups in ways that reflect election results: In general, supporters of a party that won an election, or sometimes a party that exceeded expectations in an election, became happier with the state of democracy. In the United Kingdom, the Labour Party achieved a majority in Parliament, ending 14 years of Conservative Party rule. Satisfaction with democracy rose significantly among Labour supporters, while it is basically unchanged among Conservatives, said PRC. In the US, Republicans maintained their majority in the House of Representatives while also gaining a Senate majority and winning the presidency. Since PRC's 2024 survey, Republicans' satisfaction with democracy has increased significantly, while Democrats' satisfaction dropped significantly, it said.

Social media reacts to British Embassy's jibe The US Embassy in London has not reacted to the jibe and only wished Americans on X, 'Happy 4th of July everyone!'.

Still stings??' third person chimed in. 'British humor. Remember what you did to the DC in 1812? Yeah, we're still not over that,' the fourth person stated. A number of protests against the Trump administration, including marches and demonstrations, have been organised across the US over the weekend of Independence Day.
