'To give you your freedom back': Elon Musk officially launches new political party; names it 'The America Party'

Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk announced on Saturday that he is launching a new political party in the United States, which he has named the America Party . The announcement came through a post on his social media platform X.

"Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom," Musk wrote, referring to a poll he had earlier conducted on X.

In the same post, Musk said, "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."

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.

Earlier, on July 4 during US Independence Day celebrations, Musk posted a poll asking, "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?" The poll results showed 65.4% voting "Yes" and 34.6% voting "No."

This move follows Musk's departure from the Trump administration and his exit from DOGE.
