US policy: Braise to Trump: Elon Musk announces his own party

Tech billionaire Elon Musk wants to start a separate party called America party. This was announced by President Donald Trump’s former consultant, with whom he is now disputed, on Saturday on his platform X.

Musk wrote that the new party that had been initiated today will “give back their freedom” to US citizens. If the country is driven into bankruptcy by waste and bribery, “we live in a one -party system, not in a democracy”.

The highlight of the feud with Trump

The announcement Musks marks a preliminary climax of the feud between Trump and the tech billionaire. Musk had supported Trump’s election campaign with more than $ 250 million and then conducted the cost reduction committee Doge by the end of May, with which he enforced massive budget cuts and job cancellations.

But then a mud fight followed in early June. The two covered with violent allegations on social media – everyone could read. For example, Musk wrote: “Without me, Trump would have lost the choice.”

What role will Musk play in the party?

Tesla boss Musk, who also has an electric car plant in Brandenburg, left open what role he wants to play in the new party. If he actively contributed to politics, he could become a kind of opponent of Trump.

After the election, Musk was a familiar Trumps who was sitting at the cabinet table and – with his little son on his shoulders – became a shadow of Trump at many events in the White House.

Most recently, Musk had again excited himself about the large tax and expenditure law signed by Trump on Friday, known as “One Big Beautiful Bill”. Among other things, he called for much greater spending cuts.

Musk had already proposed a few weeks ago to found a new party in the middle. On independence day, one of the most important holidays for the Americans, the Tech billionaire then started a survey on X on Friday, in which he set the party foundation to vote. On Saturday he added: “You want a new political party and you should have it.”

Musk cannot become president

Since Musk was born in South Africa, he cannot become president himself. As the richest person in the world with an estimated assets of around $ 360 billion, he sees himself able to significantly influence the outcome of elections at different levels.
