The billionaire launched his own party in early July and threatens to compete with Donald Trump.
Elon Musk could soon return to politics according to Bloomberg, two months after his starting from the White House. The boss of Tesla had been charged by Donald Trump to lead the Doge, an agency specially created to save money in the American administration.
He “could in the future occupy similar positions and devote a lot of time and energy to these positions”, according to Space X documents, consulted by the Bloomberg agency and addressed to investors.
In early July, Elon Musk announced that he had launched his own political training: “The America’s party”. An initiative deemed “ridiculous” by Donald Trump.
Party alternative
Former close ally and financial campaign of the Republican campaign in 2024, the richest man on the planet had broken with Donald Trump after having expressed his frank opposition to the wide digging of the public deficit, even though he had been charged by Donald Trump with his committee Doge to saber in state spending.
After several weeks of conflict with the American president, the boss of Tesla and SpaceX therefore decided to go a horseman alone by creating this alternative party, in a political system dominated historically by two parties.
Elon Musk, who as a naturalized is not constitutionally eligible for the presidency, primarily targets the mid-term legislative elections in November 2026. And the risk for the Republicans is to see this new party siphon enough votes to the right to make them lose their very small majority at the Congress.
