July 08, 2025

Elon Musk has said his new “America Party” will focus on disrupting the two-party system in the US Congress, declaring that he aims to challenge the dominance of both Republicans and Democrats ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, RT reported yesterday (07)

The remarks follow the tech billionaire’s announcement, over the weekend, that he is moving forward with plans to launch a new political party. Musk has positioned the America Party as an alternative to what he called the “Republican/Democrat Uniparty,” accusing both groups of mismanaging the country’s finances and stifling voter choice.

“Backing a candidate for President is not out of the question, but the focus for the next 12 months is on the House and the Senate,” Musk wrote on X on Sunday, outlining his priority to target the US midterm elections in November 2026, when 33 of the 100 Senate seats, and all 435 House seats, will be up for grabs.
