Billionaire Elon Musk establishes a political party America. It criticizes corruption and irresponsible expenditure of the main US parties.
American billionaire and entrepreneur Elon Musk officially announced the establishment of a new political party in the United States. The party is called “America” and, according to the founder, is to represent an alternative to the traditional Duopol of Republicans and Democrats.
Musk presented his step in response to the “systemic malfunction” of the current political scene. “In a 2: 1 ratio you want a new political party and you will have it! Today, America has been created to return you to freedom,” he wrote on Saturday (5 July) on the social network X, which it owns itself.
Criticism of the current political system
The founder of Tesla and SpaceX sharply criticized the functioning of both major American parties. “The system of Republicans and Democrats is actually a one -party system. It is not a democracy, but a corruption cartel,” Musk said. He added that irresponsible expenditure and corruption lead the country to crash.
Conflict with Donald Trump
Although Elon Musk has been an ally of President Donald Trump in the past, he even supported him financially, their relationships have worsened significantly in recent months. The key point of the dispute was the so -called. “Great, beautiful law” on the reduction of state expenses that Musk publicly criticized. Their political rupture escalated in June, when Musk announced the need for a third party.
A view of the future
The emergence of the “America” party comes less than 18 months before the US presidential election. It remains questionable whether Musk plans to run in person or will be looking for a candidate whose party will support. Political scientists point out that third -party success in the US electoral system is historically rare, but due to Musk’s medial position and resources, the project cannot be underestimated.
