Elon Musk unveils new fiscal‑conservative America Party after policy dispute with Trump
Tesla and X owner Elon Musk today announced the formation of a new political entity, the “America Party,” identifying it as a fiscal‑conservative alternative emphasizing deficit reduction, AI‑equipped military capabilities, regulatory trim, and family‑friendly policies.
The move follows a high‑profile clash with former President Trump over the “One Big Beautiful Bill.” Musk’s new party aims to capitalize on disillusionment with both major parties by offering a disciplined, debt‑focused platform.
Although Musk cannot run for president due to naturalization rules, he could seek other offices or party leadership roles. His influence adds an unpredictable dynamic to the shifting 2028 electoral landscape.
The America Party announcement signals a growing appetite among some tech‑elite for third‑party alternatives, especially those with strong fiscal and technological visions, setting the stage for potential disruptors beyond the two‑party system.
