What Specific Policies Will Musk's America Party Advocate? | DW News

Jul 6, 2025 | Elon Musk, the world's richest tech billionaire, has announced his intention to establish a new political party in his adopted homeland of the United States. This announcement comes just days after Musk broke with President Donald Trump over his substantial spending bill, which Musk claims will bankrupt America. Musk was a fervent supporter of Trump during his presidential campaign, serving as an advisor tasked with cutting government waste. However, he now says he wants to challenge the entire US political system.


Is this going to be another political party determined to fleece ordinary, hard-working Americans again? And has Elon yet left his fascist ideas behind, once and for all? The last thing the US needs is yet more fascists! It is to be hoped that Elon will come up with some sensible ideas. But we shouldn’t hold our breath. The words ‘American’ and ‘sensible’ these days are oxymorons. – © Mark Alexander
