介绍： Elon Musk Says He’s Forming ‘America Party’
Tesla CEO Elon Musk said Saturday he created a new political party called the America Party after reigniting a feud with President Trump.
 
“By a factor of 2 to 1, you want a new political party and you shall have it!,” Musk wrote in a post on X, the social-media platform he owns. “Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom.”
 
Neither Musk nor his advisers have filed paperwork to the Federal Election Commission that shows the formation of a new political entity named “America Party.” The title of the party is similar to the political-action committee he helped launch, America PAC. Musk spent close to $300 million in 2024 to help Trump and other Republicans, according to filings.
 
Still, Musk’s move to start building a potential third party is the latest effort by the billionaire to take on Trump after becoming one of his most vocal supporters. While a third-party candidate has never become president, they can act as spoilers and pull votes away from the two main parties. 
 
The renewed battle between both men started when Republican lawmakers on Capitol Hill began to inch closer to passing Trump’s signature megabill that included making many of his 2017 tax cuts permanent.
 
Musk had earlier opposed the bill. But, as the legislation made its way through the Senate, he began to ramp up pressure on Republicans to oppose it and threatened to back a primary challenge against those who voted in support of the legislation. 
 
“Every member of Congress who campaigned on reducing government spending and then immediately voted for the biggest debt increase in history should hang their head in shame!,” Musk wrote on X on Monday. “And they will lose their primary next year if it is the last thing I do on this Earth.” 
 
Trump fired back by suggesting he could unleash the Department of Government Efficiency and possibly target the government contracts of Musk’s companies. Musk founded and helped launch DOGE while working in the White House as a close Trump adviser. 
 
“No more Rocket launches, Satellites, or Electric Car Production, and our Country would save a FORTUNE. Perhaps we should have DOGE take a good, hard, look at this? BIG MONEY TO BE SAVED!!!,” Trump wrote Tuesday on Truth Social.
 
Despite Musk’s threats, the bill later passed both the House and Senate, with the president signing it into law on July 4. Only five Republicans between the two chambers of Congress voted against the bill.
