Trump threatens to deport Musk from the US, Musk establishes new American political party "The America Party"
After President Trump said on July 1 that he might consider "deporting Musk" from the country, Musk, a former ally of Trump, announced on Saturday that he has established a new political party in the United States to challenge what he criticized as the U.S. "one-party system".
After leading Trump's efforts to cut spending and reduce federal positions, he had a fierce argument with Trump. Musk posted on X: Wastefulness and corruption have led the country to bankruptcy. We live in a one-party system, not a democratic country. Today, The America Party is founded to return freedom to you.
Musk had an open conflict with Trump over the recent "Big and Beautiful Act". Musk called it a "crazy" bill. If the bill passes, he will establish a new political party, "The America Party".
Previously, an online poll he conducted on X showed that 65% of respondents supported the idea of establishing a new political force.
AFP said it is unclear whether the new party will nominate candidates in the 2026 midterm elections. With his vast social media following and influence in business, media, and technology, Musk could potentially reshape part of the American political discourse before the 2026 and 2028 elections.
