Elon Musk Shifts Focus from ’America Party’ Plans to Corporate Priorities and GOP Ties
Elon Musk has quietly shelved plans to FORM his proposed 'America Party,' redirecting attention to his corporate ventures and maintaining strategic ties with Vice President JD Vance. The tech billionaire's pivot avoids potential fragmentation of Republican voter support, which could have weakened the party's electoral prospects. Musk's decision removes a looming threat to GOP lawmakers ahead of the 2026 midterms.
The Wall Street Journal reports Musk explored financially backing Vance as a potential 2028 presidential contender. This political calculus coincides with prediction market data suggesting a divided Congress outcome in 2026, with Republicans favored to take the Senate while Democrats hold the House.
