Elon Musk Says He Will Start a New Political Party
The New York TimesSaturday, July 5, 2025 at 11:25:09 PM
Elon Musk is stirring the political pot again—this time by announcing plans to start a new political party called "the America Party." The Tesla and SpaceX CEO, who’s no stranger to public spats with former President Trump, dropped the news on social media, though he hasn’t filed any official paperwork yet. Musk has been hinting at this move for weeks, suggesting he’d take action if Trump’s domestic policy bill passed.
Editor’s Note: Love him or hate him, Musk’s influence is undeniable, and his entry into politics could shake things up. While it’s unclear how serious he is (or if this is just another headline-grabbing stunt), the idea of a billionaire tech mogul launching a party adds fuel to the ongoing debate over money, power, and democracy. If he follows through, it could reshape political alliances—or just be another chaotic twist in an already wild era.
