Elon Musk Plans New America Party Amid Political Feud

Elon Musk has announced the formation of a new political party called the America Party, aiming to challenge the current two-party system in the United States and give voters more freedom. Musk conducted social media polls that showed significant public interest, with 65% supporting the idea of a new party and 40% indicating they might vote for its candidates. Despite Musk's previous support for President Donald Trump in the 2024 election, the two have since become adversaries, with Musk opposing recent Republican spending bills. President Trump, however, is not worried about the new party, suggesting third parties have historically helped him by drawing votes away from his opponents. Political figures such as former Congresswoman Dean Phillips acknowledge the difficulty of establishing a successful third party but recognize Musk's financial resources and public profile as potential advantages. Still, challenges remain, including the complex process of fielding candidates nationwide and defining a clear agenda to attract voters beyond Musk's business reputation.
