Elon Musk has started multiple successful companies that have accomplished incredible technological feats. His latest ambition may be significantly more difficult to achieve: starting a new American political party for the masses.

We may soon see one, according to Elon Musk. The country’s richest person has vowed to create the “America Party” if Congress and President Trump pass the “Big Beautiful Bill” this month. Time will tell whether Musk will deliver on this promise, but the idea has sparked a discussion about the viability of a new third-party in American politics.
