Elon Musk suggests forming a third political party in the US. He floated the idea on social media after disagreeing with Trump's 'Beautiful Bill', sparking a new debate in American politics.
America: On the occasion of America's Independence Day, July 4th, Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk ignited a new debate in American politics. He posted on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), asking whether he should form a new political party called "America Party."
Survey on X raises political questions
In his post, Musk sought opinions from the public and asked, "Should we form the America Party?" Millions of people responded. Many supported the idea, while some called it a mere experiment. One user said that Musk's attempt could be like Tesla and SpaceX - risky, but if successful, it could change the direction of politics. Musk responded that it was not just an idea, but a potential strategy that could be worked on.
Musk upset with Trump's bill
It is believed that Musk's statement came in opposition to a new bill by former US President Donald Trump, which he called the 'One Big Beautiful Bill'. According to this bill, America's deficit could increase by approximately $3.3 trillion over the next 10 years. Musk has called this bill dangerous for the national economy. He said that the bill would promote unnecessary government spending and inefficiency and would adversely affect tech companies and startups.
Strong warning from Trump
In response to Musk's criticism, Trump warned him. Trump mentioned ending federal subsidies to Musk's companies. He also threatened to investigate his immigration status. Musk and Trump have had disagreements before, but this time the matter has reached the political system.
In America, the Republican and Democratic parties have long dominated. Although attempts have been made to form a third party many times, success has not been achieved. Elon Musk has significant public support, a deep understanding of the technology sector, and brand value.
