Tech entrepreneur and former Trump BFF Elon Musk set off fireworks Friday, outlining the makings of a new political party following the House's passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
On Friday, Musk posted a poll quizzing users via his X platform on whether they'd like to see the end of the two-party system controlling the levers of the U.S. government.
"Independence Day is the perfect time to ask if you want independence from the two-party (some would say uniparty) system! Should we create the America Party?" Musk asked.
As of writing 62% of poll respondents agreed a new party should be created.
Musk went on to detail how the America Party could gain a foothold in elections.
"One way to execute on this would be to laser-focus on just 2 or 3 Senate seats and 8 to 10 House districts," the Tesla company owner said. "Given the razor-thin legislative margins, that would be enough to serve as the deciding vote on contentious laws, ensuring that they serve the true will of the people."
While the idea appears sensible at first glance, many in Musk's comment section cautioned a new party would likely take votes away mainly from Republicans, leaving Democrats with a consolidation of power.
Musk first floated the America Party notion last month after disputes and fallout over the president's Big Beautiful Bill, which he criticized for being loaded with unnecessary pork barrel spending.
On Thursday, the House voted to pass the BBB 218 to 214, with only two Republicans – Reps. Thomas Massie (Ky.) and Brian Fitzpatrick (Pa.) – joining all Democrats to oppose the measure.
President Trump plans to sign the legislation at a White House picnic event on July 4th around 5PM ET.
