Tech billionaire Elon Musk has stirred fresh political speculation by suggesting the formation of a third political party in the United States, following the passage of President Donald Trump’s sweeping new legislation, dubbed the “Big Beautiful Bill.”
Musk Teases the “America Party”
Taking to his social media platform, X, Musk floated the idea of creating a new political force to rival the dominant Democratic and Republican parties. On Independence Day, he posted:
"Independence Day is the perfect time to ask if you want independence from the two-party (some would say uniparty) system! Should we create the America Party?"
Musk’s poll quickly went viral, attracting attention from millions and reigniting debate about the future of U.S. politics.
Inspiration From His Ventures
Musk also endorsed a viral post comparing the third-party concept to his earlier ambitious startups:
"Elon starting a 3rd party is closely akin to Tesla & SpaceX. Low probability of success, but if successful it'll completely change the game."
This post resonated with Musk’s risk-taker image and drew thousands of likes and retweets.
Fallout With Trump
Musk’s political pivot comes amid rising tensions with President Trump. Once considered allies, the two reportedly had a falling out over Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill”—a comprehensive tax and spending package passed by Congress on Thursday. The bill includes aggressive provisions for migrant deportations and is seen as a major political win for the 79-year-old president.
Trump to Host Grand Signing Ceremony
President Trump is expected to sign the bill in a high-profile Independence Day event at the White House, complete with fireworks and a stealth bomber flypast. The ceremony is scheduled for 4:00 PM (2000 GMT) and will include military pilots who participated in recent U.S. strikes on Iran.
The bill further reinforces Trump’s firm grip on the Republican Party and his dominance in the current U.S. political landscape.
Growing Momentum for Political Disruption?
Musk’s hints at launching a new party—possibly dubbed the “America Party”—have sparked conversations about breaking the U.S. out of its entrenched two-party system. Whether the Tesla and SpaceX CEO follows through remains uncertain, but his influence and following make him a disruptive force in both tech and politics.
