Elon Musk said he is starting a new political party, which he dubbed the 'America Party' in a post on X Saturday.

Musk was born in South Africa but obtained his citizenship in 2002. He took an increasingly prominent role in politics through his partnership with Donald Trump during the 2024 U.S. presidential cycle, pumping money into the Republican's campaign and utilizing his social media platform, X, to promote him.

However, Musk and Trump had a very public fall out after the tech mogul departed the federal government. While Musk has walked back some of his more outrageous allegations and attacks, he has persisted with the idea that the U.S. needs a new political party.

There’s a lot I would do to avoid being given the cars he has.

He's too far into the K-hole to realize that the face of Mark Zuckerberg isn't an upgrade.
