World-famous technology entrepreneur Elon Musk has now announced that he will enter the political arena beyond just rockets or electric cars. Musk, the owner of Tesla, SpaceX and social media X (formerly Twitter), has recently strongly criticized the $3 to $5 trillion spending plan called “One Big Beautiful Bill” proposed in the US Congress and said that if this bill is passed, he will decide to form a new political party called “America Party”.
In one of his posts on X, Musk said, “This bill is crazy and shameful. Those who vote for it should be ashamed.” He also said, “There is a party going on now, I call it the ‘Porky Pig Party’. Now is the time to make some changes.”
Shortly after Musk's announcement, a poll conducted on X attracted nearly 5.6 million users, with nearly 80 percent voting in favor of Musk's new political party.
According to analysts, the emergence of a new and powerful third party within the traditional two-party political structure of the United States is extremely complex. However, Musk's vast wealth, social media influence, and innovative thinking may give him exceptional strength to move forward on this difficult path.
In the meantime, former presidential candidate and founder of the 'Forward Party' Andrew Yang has responded positively to Elon Musk's proposal. He said, "We believe that the American people want new leadership and vision. Musk's initiative can pave the way for that change."
According to analysts, if Musk's move is not limited to threats but becomes a reality, it will have a major impact on US politics. Especially if the 'America Party' participates in an organized manner in the upcoming presidential and congressional elections, it can bring about major changes in the vote banks of the two current major parties.
Political analyst John Henry said, “Elon Musk is not just a tech entrepreneur, he is a social trendsetter. His entry into politics means that it will be the center of high-level discussions.”
At the moment, there is a lot of analysis going on all over America—is Musk’s announcement just a disappointment, or is there really a well-planned political dream? Time will tell. But it is certain that the US political arena is already in turmoil over the ‘America Party’.
