Elon Musk Pauses Third Party Push, May Back JD Vance in 2028

Elon Musk is slowing his push to launch the “America Party” and shifting focus back to his companies. The billionaire is now considering financially supporting Vice President JD Vance if he runs in 2028. Musk’s pivot follows his split with Donald Trump and concerns over clashing with Republican leadership.

Elon Musk is stepping back from his ambitious plan to launch a new U.S. political party, opting instead to refocus on his companies while avoiding friction with Republican leaders. According to a Wall Street Journal report, Musk is now considering financially supporting Vice President JD Vance if he enters the 2028 presidential race.

In July, Musk announced the creation of the “America Party” through his platform X, positioning it as a challenge to the Republican-Democrat duopoly. He accused both major parties of corruption and reckless spending, arguing that the U.S. was functioning more as a single political machine than a true democracy. A user poll on X showed strong support for his idea, and Musk declared the new party formed.

However, sources say Musk is slowing down that effort, at least for now. Instead, he is prioritizing Tesla, SpaceX, and his other ventures while weighing how best to use his political influence. Born outside the U.S. and therefore constitutionally barred from the presidency, Musk has not named any formal leader for the America Party.

The move comes after Musk’s split with former President Donald Trump. Musk had once been a staunch ally, donating $250 million to Trump’s campaign, appearing at rallies, and briefly serving in the administration as head of the Department of Government Efficiency. But after clashing over tax and spending issues, Musk left the administration in May, setting off their public rift.
