Elon Musk’s New Political Party Sparks MAGA Backlash Online

The suspense ended in the end. Elon Musk, the insight behind Tesla and Spacex, announced the formation of a new political party on Saturday, July 5, 2025. Its goal is stated: the challenge of long hegemony both of the Republican and democratic parties.

“Today, the American Party has been formed to restore your freedom,” the controversial businessman announced on X (previously Twitter) at 3:46 pm East time.

A factor from 2 to 1, you want a new political party and you will get it!

When it comes to bankruptcy of our country with waste and illegal gain, we live in a single party system, not democracy.

Today, the American Party is formed to return you your freedom. https://t.co/9k8ad04qqn

The establishment of the “America Party” is no less than a bomb, especially given the important financial contributions to musk and political alignment with Donald Trump in the period before the 2024 presidential elections. Last year alone, Musk spent nearly $ 290 billion to support Trump’s return to the White House. This time, this alliance was given “King Techno King” described at an unprecedented level of influencing technological businessmen in American policy. Trump, in turn, commissioned musk with a federal ministry created on request: the Ministry of State Efficiency is now notorious, or Doug.

However, Duj soon became a staggering cash rod, which many see as a symbol of the same functions that was supposed to be established within the federal government. Its methods and decisions, including closing federal agencies and reducing sharp costs in basic institutions, have sparked widespread rejection of the billionaire.

This reaction in the protests is evident outside the Tesla showrooms, a decrease in the price of the electric car maker, and the noticeable collapse in profits and sales. Tesla sales continued in the second quarter of 2025, as the global delivery operations of the auto industry decreased by 13.5 %. Tesla’s reputation, and the reputation of Musk, suffered greatly, especially since the auto -maker’s customer base greatly includes progressive and liberals who saw his policy alignment as a sharp departure from their values. Under increasing pressure from the market, Musk officially withdrew from its governmental role at the end of May.

His general repercussions with Trump began almost immediately after leaving, which was characterized by a year’s dislocation between the two powerful people on June 5. After a few weeks of relative calm, Musk re -being through his sharp criticism of a “beautiful, beautiful draft law”, which is part of President Trump’s legislation. He then pledged publicly to launch a political party and do everything in his power to defeat the Republican elected officials who voted in his favor.

As it promised, on June 30, Musk has made the official character to the political party that had been alluded to, after the signing of the law on the law. The first publication, which announced the formation of the party, has created more than 3 million views in less than an hour, indicating the immediate and wide attention it ordered.

The reactions to X, the social network of musk, were sharply mixed. Users who clearly supported the Maga and the Old Grand Party (GOP) have expressed disappointment and anger. Many have expressed that the decision of the billionaire, at best, breaks the conservative vote, and in the worst case, paves the way for democratic victories in the upcoming elections, especially in the mid -2026 period.

“Why don’t you just try to seize the Republican Party with more candidates in America?” He asked one user, clearly frustrated by the billionaire step.

Why not only try to seize the Republican Party with more candidates in America?

Roger Stone, a long ally of President Trump, has formed it, commenting: “I have great respect for @elonmusk and everything he did for freedom of expression and disturbing fraud in waste and corruption in federal spending. But I prefer to see it to follow his efforts in electoral reform in the Republican Assumptions instead of the new division to vote for proof.

I have great respect for Elonmusk All he did for freedom of expression and to sincerity of fraud and corruption in federal spending, but I prefer to see him following his efforts in electoral reform in the preparatory elections of the Republican party instead of a new party …

Another user asked another disappointment about the legitimacy of the decision: “So, a little more than a million people around the world take your poll and you are convinced that this is what the Americans want and you understand the Democrats (who despise you now) will vote yes, knowing that you will end in dividing the Republican Party. Do not do that.”

So, a little more than a million people around the world are taking your poll and you are convinced that this is what the Americans want?

And you understand the Democrats (who despise you now) will vote with yes, knowing that you will end in dividing the Republican Party.

Don’t do this.

“Elonmusk you need to rethink this,” he appealed to a user. “All you can hope to accomplish is handing power to Democrats for decades with a successful third party.”

Elonmusk You need to rethink this. All you can hope to achieve is to hand over power to Democrats for decades with a successful third party.

One of the angry users challenged Musk’s character: “Did anyone think about the fact that Elon Musk turned his back on a person who called him a friend because things did not go on his way? This is the type of the person you want to fall behind?”

Did anyone think about the fact that Elon Musk turned his back on someone who called a friend because things were not on his way?

This is the type of person you want to fall behind?

“This will break the right and divide the vote. I am against this, and you must,” another user.

This will break the right and divide the vote. I am against this, and you should.

“I hope you know what you do, Elon, because if you do not, you are about to handing the Democrats to Congress, and then we will be completely outside the options.”

I hope you know what Elon does, because if you don’t, you are about to surrender the Democrats, and then we will be completely outside the options.

On the contrary, the other users, many of whom are billionaire lovers, seemed to be entertained by advertising, which they did not seem to be surprised. “You are throwing a decent party,” said Jason Calakanis, a well -known technical investor and friend of musk.

You throw a decent party 🎉😂

Another user rejoiced, “

Good division of the Republican party vote

“People spoke.” Another user expressed his confidence in Musk’s ruling: “Your instincts have a good record. I hope they are right again.”

People have spoken

Musk is still convinced that the Republicans, who are currently controlling the government, nor the democratic opposition sufficiently a large part of the Americans. It seems confident that the political environment is favorable for a new movement. The data from the study of 2024 Gallup indicates wide dissatisfaction with the two main parties: 43 % of Americans who have been determined as independent, while only 28 % were determined as republicans and 28 % of Democrats.

Thanks to the clear value of 361 billion dollars by the Bloomberg billionaire index as of July 4, Musk definitely has the financial ability to follow its ambitious political endeavors.
