Elon Musk declared the launch of his new political party on Saturday, a project he has repeatedly floated in the weeks since his explosive breakup with President Donald Trump \u2014 but provided no details as to how he planned to jump through the hoops necessary to establish a viable alternative.<\/p>\n

The billionaire entrepreneur and onetime Republican megadonor \u2014 who mere months ago appeared as the president\u2019s right-hand man in the Oval Office after pouring millions into his campaign \u2014 has for weeks publicly contemplated starting a new third party to disrupt the current system.<\/p>\n

Musk on Saturday appeared to confirm his intention to launch his \u201cAmerica Party,\u201d after posting a poll to his X account the prior day asking followers whether or not he should create the new party.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy 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,\u201d he wrote<\/a>. \u201cToday, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom.\u201d<\/p>\n

Musk\u2019s third-party musings began in earnest after last month\u2019s massive meltdown between the president and his former adviser over the \u201cbig beautiful bill,\u201d which the former DOGE head has decried as wasteful.<\/p>\n

As Trump on Thursday flaunted his successful push to muscle the Republican megabill through Congress this week, Musk sought to drum up support for his potential third party launch, positing that his new party would target a handful of vulnerable swing seats to leverage political power.<\/p>\n

\u201cGiven 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,\u201d he wrote<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While Musk may have the millions to pour into backing certain candidates \u2014 which he has already promised to do, pledging to support Rep. Thomas Massie\u2019s (R-Ky.) reelection campaign amid targeting from Trump \u2014 establishing a third party involves a series of thorny obstacles including navigating complex state laws, ballot access regulations and other legal hoops.<\/p>\n

So far, the billionaire would-be party founder has yet to outline a concrete plan forward. Just two months ago, Musk had vowed to cut back on political spending<\/a>, saying he had \u201cdone enough.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
