Billionaire cites X poll results in decision to launch new political movement.
By a factor of 2 to 1, you want a new political party and you shall have it!
When it comes to bankrupting our country with waste & graft, we live in a one-party system, not a democracy.
Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom. https://t.co/9K8AD04QQN

Billionaire business owner Elon Musk announced Saturday that he is starting a new political party, which he dubbed the ‘America Party’ in a post on X.
“Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom,” the post said, citing a poll he had previously posted on the platform.
The announcement came just one day after Musk conducted a poll on the same platform regarding the creation of a new party. “By a factor of 2 to 1, you want a new political party and you shall have it!” Musk said in the post.
The Tesla and SpaceX CEO criticized the current political system, stating: “When it comes to bankrupting our country with waster & graft, we live in a one-party system, not a democracy.”

“We’ll have to take a look. Might have to put DOGE on him. You know what DOGE is? That monster that might have to go back and eat Elon. Wouldn’t that be terrible? He gets a lot of subsidies.”Elon is expensive—even for America. pic.twitter.com/7sKCWFfAVS
