The world’s richest man launches the “America Party“—because clearly, running companies, rockets, and Twitter feuds wasn’t enough. After splitting up with Trump over a recent policy bill that adds at least $3.3 trillion to America’s staggering $36.2 trillion debt—without including EV subsidies that could benefit Musk’s Tesla—the two-party system was cramping his style (and maybe his wallet).
Musk’s strategy isn’t presidential—yet. Instead, he’s eyeing just enough Senate and House seats to tip the scales in tight votes. Given Musk’s track record of making waves (and $290 million in political donations), Washington might soon have another force of nature to reckon with.
In Context: After Elon Musk’s announcement, Tesla shares fell 7.
