Elon Musk soft-launched a third party over the weekend, and so far, the billionaire seems to be manifesting his “America Party” into existence. What Musk has done, however, is open the door for what could be the most well-funded attempt ever at launching a third party. Following his forceful digs at President Donald Trump about the One Big Beautiful Bill reconciliation package, and his seeming breakup with the president, Musk is starting big. On X, Musk said the America Party would involve narrowly targeting eight to 10 House seats and a smaller number of Senate seats to establish a presence in Congress. Musk’s ability to drive attention is the best thing this fledgling third party could have going for it.
