Tesla owner Elon Musk has announced that the American Party has been created in the United States. The day before, he asked subscribers of the X network whether it was worth creating a new political party in the United States.
Musk announced the creation of the American Party
“By a two-to-one margin, you want a new political party – and you will get one! The American Party was created today to give you back your freedom,” the billionaire wrote in H.
Musk's announcement came after President Donald Trump on Friday signed a tax cut and government spending bill that the Tesla CEO has harshly criticized.
Musk spent hundreds of millions of dollars to help Trump re-elect and led his administration's Office of Government Effectiveness, which was aimed at cutting government spending.

Subsequently, a conflict arose between them due to disagreements regarding this bill.
Trump has previously threatened to cut off billions in subsidies Musk's companies receive from the federal government.
Musk said he would create a new political party and spend money to remove from office legislators who supported the bill.
Republicans have expressed concern that Musk's prolonged feud with Trump could hurt their chances of retaining their majority in the 2026 midterm congressional elections.
