Elon Musk has announced the creation of a new political party, saying the traditional system is no longer serving the country.
In a post on X, the platform he owns, Musk unveiled what he’s calling the “America Party,” describing it as an answer to what he claims is a rigged and out-of-touch political class. Musk said the party would challenge the current system, which he believes has lost touch with ordinary Americans.
This announcement followed a July 4 poll Musk posted to X, in which he asked users whether they favored “independence” from what he labeled the “two-party (some would say uniparty) system.” The post quickly gained traction.
More than 1.2 million people responded, and 65.4% voted in favor of breaking away.

At least 51 people, including 15 children, were killed, with most of the deaths coming in Kerr County in the state’s Hill Country. Besides the 43 dead in Kerr County, four deaths were reported in Travis, three in Burnet and 1 in Kendall. Rescuers dealt with broken trees, overturned cars and muck-filled debris in a difficult task to find survivors.
