On July 5, 2025, Elon Musk announced the formation of the “America Party” on X, aiming to challenge the U.S. two-party system and curb waste and corruption.
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. https://t.co/9K8AD04QQN

Inspired by a poll on X where 65% of over 1.2 million voters supported breaking free from the “uniparty” system, the party positions itself as a centrist, fiscally conservative alternative.
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?

Musk framed it as a movement to “restore freedom” for Americans, spurred by his criticism of Trump’s recent “One Big Beautiful Bill.” However, establishing a third party faces significant hurdles, including strict ballot access laws and the Electoral College, with the party’s formal structure and leadership still unclear.
