Musk has founded the America Party, a political party to "restore freedom" to America

Its aim is to abolish the "bipartisan system", which is "for some", and to have a "decisive vote on contentious laws".

Businessman Elon Musk has announced the creation of a political party called the American Party to "restore freedom" to the United States. He has announced his decision after repeatedly criticizing the adoption of President Donald Trump's new budget and tax law.

"You want a new political party and you should have it. We live in a one-party system that has led our country to economic failure with waste and corruption, not democracy. Today the American Party has emerged to restore freedom," he said on the X social network.

Musk, who conducted a poll on that same social network the day before, asked his followers if they wanted "independence from the bipartisan system," which for some is "one-party," and after receiving a vote from 1.2 million users, 65 percent said yes.

The owner of Tesla and SpaceX has stressed that one way to influence the current bipartisan system would be "to gettwo or three seats in the Senate and an 8-10 House of Representatives. "

"The margins in the legislative system are so thin that it would be enough to have a decisive vote on contentious laws and reflect the true desire of the public, "said the businessman, who contributed $300 million to the Trump campaign.

Musk decided at the end of May to renounce the White House's responsibility for efficiency because of the "great and beautiful" budget and tax law that Trump has just passed .

Trump, for hispart, has replied to Musk that he should return to his hometown of South Africa if he does not receive financial aid from the US Government.
