Musk officially established the "American Party," is it time for the American people to stand up?

Yesterday, on July 4th, the American Independence Day, Musk initiated a poll on his X:

Today, the voting results are out, with about two-thirds of X users supporting Musk's establishment of a new political party.

Musk stated that he wants to respond to the will of the people and, in order to oppose the corruption and waste of the bureaucratic group and the freedom of the American people, he will establish the "American Party"!

His main political intention is that the "American Party" will concentrate resources on targeting 2-3 Senate seats and 8-10 House districts.

By leveraging the slight advantage in congressional seat allocation, it aims to play a decisive role in key legislation, ensuring that it "reflects the true will of the people (and himself)."

After strong obstruction of the Great Beautiful Act proved fruitless, Musk believes that the Democratic and Republican parties are essentially one family.

Reports suggest he may invest up to 5% of his personal assets (about $19.5 billion) as startup capital, but this information has not been officially confirmed by Musk.

It's worth noting that he spent less than $300 million to help Trump get elected president~

From the situation of the Great Beautiful Act's passage, it seems that as long as Musk can secure even one Senate seat, it will be enough~

According to Musk's historical tweets on X, the mission of the American Party is:

• Oppose waste

  Emphasizing the reduction of government waste, controlling the federal deficit, and optimizing public spending. Musk particularly criticized the current government's "lavish" spending, believing it will harm the long-term stability of the American economy.

• Represent the interests of the broadest public

  The American Party aims to attract "80% of moderates," that is, those voters who neither support the far left nor the far right. Musk hopes to attract independent voters through data-driven and rational policies (according to a 2024 Gallup poll, 43% of American voters consider themselves independents).

• Represent the direction of advanced productivity

  As a tech entrepreneur, Musk may incorporate technological innovation, artificial intelligence, and sustainable development into his political agenda. For example, he may support policies favorable to electric vehicles, renewable energy, and space exploration.

• Break the bipartisan monopoly

  The American Party aims to break the political monopoly of the Democratic and Republican parties through strategic campaigning, especially to exert influence in key congressional seats.

It seems that the ideals are grand, but Musk has yet to disclose specific organizational structures, leadership teams, or candidate lists.

However, with Musk's influence, it shouldn't be difficult to secure a few congressional seats in the midterm elections of 2026.

Because over a hundred years ago, there was also an American Party that even secured 5 Senate seats, setting the highest record for a third party.

Looks like Musk is really going to be the Secretary of the Party now~
