Pointing to the signing of the Big Beautiful Bill, Elon Musk asked his followers on X about forming a new party to gain independence from the two-party system. Musk followed the poll’s results by launching “America Party”. His X poll was mocked for being unscientific and for being open to both bots and foreigners. Riding on the wave of 65.4% saying “yes”, Musk declared that the respondents should “have it” and he addressed the bankrupting of the US. The new party is intended to give our freedoms back.<\/p>\n

Over 1.2 million votes were cast, with 65.4% saying “yes.”<\/p>\n

“By a factor of 2 to 1, you want a new political party and you shall have it,” Musk posted Saturday. “When it comes to bankrupting our country with waste & graft, we live in a one-party system, not a democracy. Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom.”<\/p>\n

The move came just after President Donald Trump signed the “big, beautiful bill” into law Friday at the White House.<\/p>\n

The sweeping $3.3 trillion legislation includes tax cuts, infrastructure spending and stimulus measures and has drawn criticism from fiscal conservatives and libertarians. Though Musk did not reference the bill directly in his America Party posts, the timing suggests rising friction between the billionaire and the president. Musk has previously warned that unchecked spending by both parties threatens the long-term health of the economy.<\/p>\n

The new party, according to Musk’s posts, will target a few key seats in Congress. The goal is to create a swing bloc powerful enough to hold the balance of power and block what Musk sees as the worst excesses of both Republicans and Democrats.<\/p>\n

Some on the right voiced concern in the comments section that a third party could split the conservative vote and help Democrats win more easily.<\/p>\n

“Your third party will disproportionately take votes from the right vs the left and give the left an easier path to power,” conservative commentator Shawn Farash posted.<\/p>\n

Others, like Joey Mannarino, urged Musk to focus instead on reforming the GOP from within.<\/p>\n

Critics also pointed out that the X poll was informal, not limited to American voters and vulnerable to bots.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
