Musk Halts Ambitions for "America Party," Refocuses on Business and GOP Alliances
Elon Musk has quietly put the brakes on building his own political movement—the so-called America Party. The Wall Street Journal reports he’s stepping back from forming a third party to prioritize his business interests and preserve alliances with influential Republicans. Notably, he’s keen to avoid alienating Vice President JD Vance, whom he may potentially back in a 2028 presidential bid
This retreat seems more strategic than final: Musk hasn't entirely ruled out launching the party in the future, but his team has canceled talks with third-party specialists. Meanwhile, efforts from figures like Andrew Yang or the Libertarian Party to engage with him have gone unanswered
In effect, Musk’s America Party is on pause—for now.
