Musk and Altman voice dissatisfaction—signaling new political alignment among elites.
Billionaires Elon Musk and Sam Altman used their July 4 platforms to express dismay with current U.S. politics. Musk’s “America Party” plan and Altman’s self-described “political homelessness” highlight elite frustration.
Altman criticized the Democratic Party’s growing anti-billionaire sentiment, stating it undermines innovation and entrepreneurship, and his concerns point to a middle-class tech-stage rhetoric dubbed “techno-capitalism”.
Despite shared discontent, divisions in ideology suggest a formal alliance between them is unlikely—Musk’s independent streak contrasts with Altman’s progressive leanings.
Their statements may foreshadow emergent political pressure from the tech sector seeking representation outside traditional U.S. parties.
