Elon Musk Announces New ‘America Party’ to Crush GOP - War on Trump’s ‘INSANE’ $3.3T Beautiful Bill

In a stunning political twist, Elon Musk has threatened to form a new political party — the America Party — if Donald Trump's $3.3 trillion spending bill passes Congress. Slamming it as “insane” and “debt slavery,” Musk accused Republicans of betraying their fiscal conservative values and warned he would back primary challengers against incumbents who support the bill. With fiery posts on X and direct shots at the GOP, Musk is positioning himself as a disruptive force ahead of the 2025 elections. This video breaks down Musk’s explosive reaction, what’s in Trump’s "One Big Beautiful Bill," and what a third-party movement led by the world’s richest man could mean for American politics. #ElonMusk #AmericaParty #TrumpBill #GOP #SpendingBill #USPolitics #FiscalResponsibility #DebtCrisis #2025Elections #MuskVsTrump #ThirdParty #Congress #BreakingNews #PoliticalNews #TechVsPolitics ~HT.178~GR.122~PR.274~
