- Elon Musk faces backlash from Steve Bannon over his call to establish a third political party, sparking fierce debate about loyalty, patriotism, and the future of America’s political system. Musk’s controversial proposal comes amid rising tensions with President Trump and calls for accountability over Musk’s political influence and government contracts.
WASHINGTON, D.C. (TDR) — Elon Musk’s proposal to launch a third political party has ignited a political firestorm, with former White House advisor and prominent MAGA advocate Steve Bannon leading the charge against the billionaire tech mogul. Musk suggested forming an “America Party” as an alternative to the “two-party system,” drawing sharp criticism from Trump loyalists.
On Friday, Musk posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, a poll asking his followers if they supported the idea of creating an “America Party” to challenge the current political landscape. “Independence Day is the perfect time to ask if you want independence from the two-party (some would say uniparty) system!” Musk wrote.
The billionaire, who has publicly split from supporting President Trump, suggested targeting a limited number of Senate and House districts to wield decisive power in Congress. Musk’s vision, he claimed, would ensure “the true will of the people” is represented. Critics, however, view the move as an attempt to destabilize Trump’s influence in the GOP.

Steve Bannon, a key figure in President Trump’s 2016 campaign, attacked Musk on his podcast, calling for the Tesla CEO’s deportation. “Elon Musk, a South African, wants to start an America Party? No, brother, you’re not an American,” Bannon declared. He accused Musk of benefiting from American taxpayers through government contracts while undermining American values. “You should be deported because it’s a crime what you’ve done,” Bannon added.
Bannon, who has grown increasingly critical of Musk, also called for a special counsel investigation into Musk’s ties to government projects and alleged drug use.
Political and Ethical Implications
Musk’s third-party proposal comes amid growing dissatisfaction with partisan politics. A recent Gallup poll revealed that 62% of Americans believe the two-party system fails to represent the country’s needs. However, critics argue that Musk’s involvement in politics raises serious questions about foreign influence and ethical accountability, given his business dealings and reliance on federal contracts.
What’s Next for Musk and the GOP?
Musk’s call rattles both parties as the nation approaches the 2024 election cycle. Will Musk’s influence reshape American politics or deepen existing divisions? What do you think about Musk’s role in shaping the political landscape? Share your thoughts in the comments.
