The world’s richest man started the party after Trump enacted his “Big Beautiful Bill,” which Musk called an “abomination”

The tech billionaire formally declared the "America Party" after President Trump signed his signature bill, setting the stage for a dramatic political confrontation.

The idea gained momentum as Musk escalated his public rift with Donald Trump over the president’s newly signed spending bill, which passed the House by just four votes and required Vice-President JD Vance to break a 50-50 tie in the Senate.
