Elon Musk Announces New Political Venture in the USA
Elon Musk has announced via social media platform X the formation of a new political venture in the USA called the "American Party". This initiative aims to provide an alternative to the existing two-party system. The idea has garnered attention from various business figures, including billionaire Mark Cuban and investor Anthony Scaramucci, who have publicly shown their support for Musk’s plans. This was reported by Engadget.
Cuban, who reacted to Musk's post with joyful emojis, indicated that he is collaborating with the Center for Competitive Democracy and is ready to assist Musk's party in getting on the ballots.
Scaramucci, who briefly served as White House Communications Director under Trump in 2017, offered to meet with Musk to discuss next steps. Notably, both businessmen had previously supported Kamala Harris’s candidacy.
Musk stated that his "American Party" aims to secure 2-3 seats in the Senate and 8-10 districts in the House of Representatives. Currently, it is unclear whether the party has been officially registered, as some mentions in the Federal Election Commission appear dubious and are mingled with humorous names such as "DOGE Party" and "American Meme Party".
