To give you your freedom back’: Elon Musk officially launches new political party; names it ‘America Party’
July 6, 2025

In a surprise political move, billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk on Friday announced the formation of a new political party, named the “America Party”, amid growing chatter around the possibility of a third major political force emerging in the United States.

The Tesla and SpaceX CEO made the announcement on his social media platform X, just a day after he floated the idea in response to posts advocating for an alternative to the Republican and Democratic parties.

Musk said the decision was driven by “overwhelming support” from users on X. “It’s clear that millions of Americans want a fresh political option—something that truly represents the will of the people. The America Party will be that voice,” he posted.

“The way we’re going to crack the uniparty system is by using a variant of how Epaminondas shattered the myth of Spartan invincibility at Leuctra: Extremely concentrated force at a precise location on the battlefield,” Musk said.
