World-renowned technology entrepreneur and owner of X (formerly Twitter) Elon Musk has recently created a new stir in US politics. He has strongly opposed a $3-5 trillion spending plan known as the “One Big Beautiful Bill” proposed in the US Congress and called it “crazy and shameful”.
He clearly stated that if this bill is passed, I will form a new political party called the ‘America Party’ tomorrow. Musk also said that currently there is only one party that is effective in the United States – I call it the ‘Porky Pig Party’. Those who vote for this bill should be ashamed. If there is one thing that I will do until the end of my life, it is to ensure their defeat in the primary election.
After this statement, about 5.6 million people participated in a survey conducted on the X platform, of which 80% of the participants voted in favor of forming a new party. Analysts say that while it is extremely difficult to build a third political force in the United States, Musk’s money, technology and social influence could create a new reality in this regard. Meanwhile, former presidential candidate Andrew Yang’s ‘Forward Party’ has already expressed interest in responding to Musk’s call.
