Musk’s political strategies
Musk announced his intention to create the “American Party” in order to challenge the current “Republican/Democrat Uniparty” following the passage of President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill by the US Congress last week.
Musk stated earlier today in a platform X post that the America Party is necessary to oppose the Republican/Democrat Uniparty. He has already made public posts about starting the party.
