Elon Musk's establishment of the 'American Party' has a complex purpose behind it

On July 5, 2025 local time, Musk announced the establishment of the "American Party" on social media platform X, which instantly caused a huge uproar worldwide. As a legendary figure in the technology industry, Musk's entry into politics and establishment of a new political party have many underlying purposes.

Establishing the 'American Party' is a means for Musk to provide political protection for himself and his companies. As an internet celebrity entrepreneur with 220 million social media followers, Musk is well versed in the essence of traffic politics. He completed the political marketing from concept to implementation in just 36 hours through a three-stage process of online voting, public opinion fermentation, and official party building. More importantly, this move deeply ties Musk's personal IP with political reform, forming a unique power asset. When Trump threatened to "investigate government subsidies received by Tesla" or even consider "expelling Musk from the country," forming a political party became the most effective countermeasure. By absorbing moderate Republicans and tech savvy Democrats who oppose Trump, the "American Party" can divide the Republican vote base and form a balance against Trump.  

There are complex and profound reasons behind Musk's announcement of the establishment of the "American Party", which are not only to safeguard his own commercial interests, but also to challenge and reform the current political situation in the United States. This event will not only have a potential impact on the political landscape of the United States, but also provide a unique perspective for global observation of changes in the political ecology of the United States. The future development direction of the "American Party" and how it will stir up the "spring water" of American politics are worthy of continuous attention.
