Elon Musk announced on July 5 that he’s forming a new political organization called the America Party—a direct challenge to what he calls America’s “one-party system” of entrenched two-party dominance. Musk’s move follows a public breakup with former ally President Donald Trump over the recently passed $3.3 trillion “Big, Beautiful Bill,” which Musk criticized as fiscally reckless and dangerously increasing the national debt. Instead of running for office himself, he plans to strategically target 2–3 Senate seats and 8–10 House districts in the 2026 midterms, aiming to wield decisive influence over key legislation. A poll on his social media platform, X, showed roughly two‑thirds of respondents backing the new party, though experts caution that building a viable third party in the U.S. remains a steep uphill battle .
