Tesla CEO Elon Musk
Washington DC, 6 July
In a sensational twist to the Trump-Musk fallout saga, the
Tesla CEO launched his own "America Party".
Musk on Saturday
(local time) critiqued the US' current political scenario over the lack of
options, saying "we live in a one-party system, not a democracy."
The newly formed
America Party, which touts itself as "The party that actually represents
America!" in a post on X said, "We've tried red. We've tried blue.
America is ready for something that actually works. America Party -- The middle
has a voice now."
Among the series of
posts included one that read, "The silent majority isn't silent anymore.
This is the moment everything shifts. The America Party is now here -- and it's
the answer to a system that stopped listening."
This comes after Musk
conducted a poll on the social media platform X, asking users whether he should
start a party, to which 65 percent of them agreed.
"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," Musk wrote on X.
Musk musing for the
party started after a massive meltdown between the US President and his former
adviser over the "Big Beautiful Bill," which the former DOGE head had
heavily criticised.
The 'Big Beautiful Bill' was passed by the US
Congress on Thursday, which Trump signed on the Fourth of July, holding a
signing celebration outside the White House to mark his significant legislative
win.
Since his departure from the White House, Musk has been a vocal critic of Trump's policy bill, especially concerning its projected impact
on the national deficit.
Musk has also
announced his intention to support challengers to Republicans who backed
Trump's legislation. He added he would defend Representative Thomas Massie, a
notable opponent of the bill. Musk also called for the creation of a new
political party, criticising the bill's massive spending, the Hill reported.
Even though Musk has
announced his party, the former Donald Trump advisor is yet to outline a
concrete plan ahead.
