Tech Billionaire Elon Musk has apparently suggested that his newly formed American Party will take part in the 2026 midterm elections The Tesla CEO hinted at a possible appearance while answering questions about the party on X Sunday night.
The way we're going to crack the uniparty system is by using a variant of how Epaminondas shattered the myth of Spartan invincibility at Leuctra, wrote Musk on the social media site. "Extremely concentrated force at a precise location on the battlefield."
It was then that someone asked Musk whether the party would appear in 2028 or the midterms. "Next year," the tech mogul replied. Musk's announcement comes one day after the Tesla CEO doubled down on comments about forming a new political party.

Earlier this week, Musk announced that he planned to form the "America Party", which could result in a White House bid in the next election . It occurs during his dispute with Donald Trump over the president's spending policy bill, which Musk has called "utterly insane" and "destructive."
The tech billionaire has now asked his followers on X whether he should move forward with creating the party and also outlined how its creation could transform the American political system. "Independence Day is the perfect time to ask if you want independence from the two-party (some would say uniparty) system," he wrote.
He added: "Should we create the America Party?" Must later described how US politics could be overhauled to make way for the party, saying: "One way to execute on this would be to laser-focus on just 2 or 3 Senate seats and 8 to 10 House districts."
"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," he added.
While sharing the results, which tallied 65.4% positive and 34.5% negative, Musk announced the official creation of the party. "By a factor of 2 to 1, you want a new political party and you shall have it," Musk said.
"When it comes to bankrupting our country with waste & graft, we live in a one-party system, not a democracy," he added. "Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom."
The creation of the party had mixed reviews on the site. "Last time we had a legitimate third party it gave us Bill Clinton. President Trump had to go in and destroy the Reform Party in 2000 to prevent Al Gore from becoming president," one person said.
"A third party is nice in theory, but it sets the United States up for failure," they added. "Elon, building a new party isn’t the shortcut you think, it’s a multi-decade slog," another said.
The Libertarian Party is already on the ballot in all 50 states plus DC, something no new party can immediately claim," they added. "Getting ballot access isn’t a handful of signatures. Each state has its own nightmare deadlines and signature thresholds, often 5% or more of statewide voter turnout. Georgia, Virginia, New York, Oklahoma—they all have prohibitive laws costing tens of thousands in legal fees and signature-gathering campaigns, but moreover, take multiple election cycles to fulfill.
