Elon Musk Hits Pause on His ‘America Party’ Dream – But Is It Over?
Elon Musk’s ambitious foray into politics with the proposed 'America Party' has hit an unexpected pause. The Tesla and SpaceX CEO, known for his disruptive ventures, appears to be stepping back from the initiative to refocus on his corporate responsibilities. The move comes amid tensions with former President Donald Trump, who dismissed the third-party effort as 'ridiculous.'
Musk’s political ambitions were fueled by frustration with bipartisan overspending and a perceived lack of representation for moderate voters. The clash intensified after TRUMP criticized Musk’s opposition to the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act,' which included cuts to electric vehicle incentives critical to Tesla. Despite the setback, Musk’s influence in both technology and politics remains a focal point for observers.
