Elon Musk, the head of Tesla, announced the formation of the ‘American Party’ on Saturday, citing the need to ‘give you back your freedom.’ The announcement comes amidst a public dispute with Donald Trump. Musk expressed his view that the US political structure operates as a ‘one-party system, not a democracy.’ This move was prompted by a poll on X where a substantial number of users favored the creation of a new political party. Musk’s grievances stem from the ‘Big Beautiful Bill,’ a bill which Trump signed and Musk heavily criticized, particularly regarding its impact on the US national deficit. Musk has also indicated support for those challenging Republicans who backed the legislation. He is also backing Representative Thomas Massie, who opposed the bill. Although the party is established, further details about its specific platform and strategies are yet to be released.
