Tesla CEO’s entry into politics rattles markets and disrupts U.S. political scene.
Over the weekend, Elon Musk announced the creation of a new political organization named the “America Party,” marking a direct challenge to the U.S.’s dominant Republican‑Democrat dynamic. In his announcement, Musk called the existing framework a “Republican/Democrat Uniparty” and vowed to “give you back your freedom.” The move has sparked intense discussion in political circles.
Financial markets responded swiftly. Tesla’s stock plummeted nearly 7–8% in pre‑market and regular trading, as investors voiced concerns that Musk’s political ambitions might divert his attention from the company’s business operations.

Political analysts say Musk faces steep hurdles: United States’ rigid electoral system, high entry barriers for third parties, issues of ballot access, fundraising, and candidate infrastructure—all significant challenges ahead.
Despite market skepticism, Musk’s supporters applaud his anti‑establishment stance and appeal to a segment frustrated with the political status quo. Whether Musk can translate celebrity influence into genuine political infrastructure remains to be seen.
