There’s more to launching a third party than posting about it on social media. But Musk can still "disrupt" America’s partisan status quo.

Elon Musk's newly-launched independent political party, the "America Party," poses a real risk of being a spoiler for Republicans in the 2026 midterms, according to a new poll by Echelon Insights. The post NEW POLL: Elon Musk’s America Party Would Swing the 2026 Election From GOP to Democrats on Generic Ballot first appeared on Mediaite.

Based on what's published on the America Party website and in Elon Musk's posts, the new party promises to focus on reducing U.S. external debt, modernizing the military with AI-powered robotics, and positioning the U.S. as a global leader in AI development.
