Elon Musk breaks ties with Donald Trump and establishes the America Party, a centrist and pro Bitcoin movement aiming to elect pro-crypto lawmakers by 2026.
Questioned about X, Musk declares that ‘Fiat is hopeless’, clearly indicating his intention to make Bitcoin a centerpiece of his party’s economic agenda.
Without an official program yet, the party already advocates a libertarian line: fewer taxes, more freedom, and a clear break from Trump’s budget plans.
A New Political Schism: Musk vs Trump
Elon Musk drops Trump. After months of tensions over an economic plan dubbed ‘Big Beautiful Bill’, which he now refers to as ‘the slavery by debt law’, the Tesla CEO officially cuts ties with the former president. He launches his own movement: the America Party, a centrist, pro-technology… and above all pro Bitcoin.
The goal? Not aiming for the White House right away, but focusing efforts on the legislative elections. In essence, electing pro-crypto lawmakers by 2026, starting by conquering Congress with a simple political line: lower taxes, lower debts, more freedom.
‘Fiat is Hopeless’: Musk Lays the Foundation
Interrogated on the subject of Bitcoin by a user on X, Musk answered without hesitation:
‘Fiat is hopeless, so yes.’
This simple statement pushes Bitcoin (BTC) to the core of the American political debate. For Musk, fiat currencies are doomed. The future belongs to crypto, and his party intends to make it a major campaign focus. This isn’t just a publicity stunt. Tesla and SpaceX still hold BTC in their reserves. Musk isn’t just talking without intent.
An Ambiguous Party, but a Clear Direction
For now, the America Party does not have an official website or a published program. But Musk regularly shares ideas on X: defending freedom of speech, rejecting unnecessary regulations, and embracing a pro-tech vision.
This positioning contrasts with that of Trump, who lost Musk’s support after proposing and ultimately signing a massive budget stimulus plan deemed ‘suicidal’ by libertarian economic circles.
Bitcoin Enters the American Political Arena
This isn’t the first time Musk publicly supports Bitcoin. But it’s the first time he wants to turn that support into a structured political program. The timing is crucial: as crypto regulation takes center stage in US debates, the country’s biggest tech influencer turns BTC into an electoral battleground tool.
The coming weeks will reveal if this project becomes a true national movement… or just another Musk-made utopia. Meanwhile, the price of Bitcoin has already reacted, nearing $109,000 following his announcement.
