Elon Musk’s ‘America Party,’ launched on Saturday, July 5, 2025, following an online poll, has been registered with the Election Commission.
Registered as the “America Party (AMEP),” the party was reportedly launched to offer a political alternative to the two-party system in the US.
The Federal Election Commission (FEC) Registers Elon Musk’s ‘America Party’
Just a day after Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced the launch of a new political party, the ‘America Party,’ on his X profile, the party has been officially registered with the Federal Election Commission (FEC).
The one-time Dogecoin supporter has been talking about launching a new political party in the US for some time. However, the recent rift between Musk and Trump, sparked by Musk’s criticism of the president’s so-called “One big, beautiful bill,” triggered the recent move.
Following the rift, Elon posted an online poll on X, where he asked his followers whether he should form a political group. The poll attracted more than 1.2 million responses, with the majority in support of the new political party.
In response, Elon announced the launch of the ‘America Party’ on his X profile last Saturday. Now, it turns out that the party has officially registered with the Federal Election Commission (FEC).
Called ‘America Party (AMEP),’ the new political outfit registered with the FEC on Sunday, July 6, under Filing FEC-1898441 and FEC Committee ID-C00910323.
The filing mentions the candidate’s name as Elon Reeve Musk and says:
“This committee supports/opposes only one candidate and is NOT an Authorized Committee.”
Vaibhav Taneja is elected AMEP’s treasurer and custodian of records. Vaibhav is currently Tesla’s Chief Financial Officer.
Trump-Elon Relationship Went Sour
During the 2024 presidential election, Musk fully supported Donald Trump, campaigning massively for him and following him closely.
Once Trump won the election, he appointed Musk to head the Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E.) from January to May under his administration. Although the nomenclature led many to believe that the department would integrate Dogecoin payments, no such development occurred.
While both Trump and Elon are among the most pro-crypto political and business figures, Trump’s “One big, beautiful bill” annoyed Musk so much that he openly expressed his dissatisfaction with the two-party system in the US and said the country needed a new political party, which he has launched.
Crypto Community Members Support Musk
As expected, the crypto community has been quick to react to the latest development. Popular Dogecoin team member, known as DogeDesigner or @cb_doge on X, confirmed the news and has been supporting Musk’s political campaign.
Pro-crypto attorney John Deaton, who challenged Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) as a Republican candidate during the 2024 election, supported Musk’s announcement of the party on July 5.
Deaton went ahead to post a short video of his debate with Warren in which he was seen lambasting the two-party system:
“All of us suck in Congress… It’s a broken system. I am disrupting that system.”
Though Deaton lost the election to Warren, he is supporting Musk’s political challenge in the US.
The total crypto market cap stood at $3.36 trillion at the time of writing.
