Musk Threatens To Launch ‘America Party’ if Trump’s ‘Insane Spending Bill’ Passes
Billionaire Elon Musk warned that he will establish a new “America Party” if US President Donald Trump’s sweeping One Big Beautiful Bill—a tax-cut and spending bill projected to add over $3 trillion to the US deficit—is approved. Musk branded the proposal “insane” and a threat to future industries, urging voters to act before primary season .
He posted on X, “If this insane spending bill passes, the America Party will be formed the next day. Our country needs an alternative to the Democrat‑Republican uniparty so that the people actually have a VOICE.” Musk also threatened to “unseat” lawmakers who backed the bill despite campaigning on fiscal restraint, stating they “should hang their head in shame” and “will lose their primary next year if it is the last thing I do on this Earth” .
Musk, who once supported Trump and funded his 2024 campaign heavily, has now emerged as a vocal critic. He described the legislation as “political suicide” for the GOP and condemned its provisions for increasing debt and slashing green energy incentives .
Musk’s announcement coincides with a tense Senate “vote‑a‑rama” on the trillion-dollar bill on Monday. He praised senators like Rand Paul and Thom Tillis, who opposed the bill, and pledged to back electoral challengers to any Republican who passes it .
Musk’s threat to form a new party and influence GOP primaries could reshape the US political landscape—and amplify growing unease over bipartisan fiscal policies. His stand places big business figures at odds with Trump-era spending priorities and raises stakes ahead of key electoral contests .
