Musk creates party to challenge US system
Shafaq News – Washington
On Saturday, Elon Musk launched a new political organization called the “America Party,” presenting it as an alternative to the current US political system.
In a statement on X, Musk claimed the party’s formation comes in response to a two-to-one majority of citizens wanting a new political party, based on the result of a survey he kicked off earlier.
By a factor of 2 to 1, you want a new political party and you shall have it!When it comes to bankrupting our country with waste & graft, we live in a one-party system, not a democracy.Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom. https://t.co/9K8AD04QQN

Musk harshly criticized what he described as the dominance of a “uniparty system” in the United States.
He also outlined a focused electoral strategy targeting two to three Senate seats and eight to ten House districts, arguing that winning a few tightly contested races could influence key legislation and reflect the public’s will.
One way to execute on this would be to laser-focus on just 2 or 3 Senate seats and 8 to 10 House districts. Given the razor-thin legislative margins, that would be enough to serve as the deciding vote on contentious laws, ensuring that they serve the true will of the people.

Earlier, the US House of Representatives narrowly passed a sweeping tax and spending bill by a vote of 218 to 214, clearing the way for it to be sent to President Donald Trump for signing.
Until late May, the US businessman served as head of a short-lived cabinet-level body called the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which was tasked with reducing federal expenditures.
