Elon Musk’s current flirtation with launching a third party, the so-called “America Party,” is generating buzz on social media and making waves in the legacy media. But, as someone who supports both President Trump and Elon Musk, let me be clear: the only guaranteed outcome of a third-party effort in today’s climate is to hand Democrats a victory they haven’t earned.
Anyone who’s paid attention to American politics knows how this works. Every serious third-party run in modern history—Ross Perot in 1992, Ralph Nader in 2000, and others—has ended up tipping an election. That’s not speculation; it’s political math. I love Elon, and support everything he’s trying to do when it comes to purging waste and fraud from the federal government, but the Democrats are counting on conservatives to fracture, and nothing would please them more than to see him siphon off just enough votes to tip the next elections in their favor.
If this insane spending bill passes, the America Party will be formed the next day.

Our country needs an alternative to the Democrat-Republican uniparty so that the people actually have a VOICE.
Elon Musk has built his reputation on disrupting industries and challenging the status quo, but politics isn’t the tech sector. The stakes are higher, and the consequences of miscalculation are permanent. By floating the idea of a third party, Musk isn’t helping his mission to reform government or rein in reckless spending. He’s undermining the very cause he claims to champion.
Does he really think that an equal number of Democrats and Republicans will break ranks and join this third party? Not a chance. If he actually goes through with this, he’ll do more harm to his agenda than good.
Instead of focusing his considerable influence on holding Congress accountable or supporting candidates who will actually make a difference, he’s threatening to dilute the only real opposition to the radical left’s agenda.
The timing couldn’t be worse. President Trump has been given a clear mandate by the American people, and now is the time for unity, not division. I get that the One Big, Beautiful Bill isn’t perfect, but it’s not worth dividing the GOP over. The country can’t afford to experiment with untested political theories when the future of the nation is on the line. If Musk truly wants to see meaningful change, he should use his platform to strengthen the conservative movement—not fracture it.
Let’s not lose sight of what’s at stake. Both President Trump and Elon Musk have done tremendous work to push back against the entrenched establishment and give a voice to millions who feel ignored by the ruling class. But this is a moment for common sense and strategic thinking. If we want to see real reform and preserve the gains we’ve made, we need to rally behind the proven leader who has already shown he can deliver results.
Elon, your energy and vision are needed—but not as a spoiler. The only way to defeat the Democrats and restore sanity to Washington is by standing together, not splintering apart. Let’s keep our eyes on the prize and make sure our efforts actually move the country forward.
