Elon Musk has said that he's formed a new political party, but it's unclear what steps — if any — he's taken to do so, or how the effort might affect upcoming elections. Musk has not yet released any additional information.

Musk said on Saturday that he was starting the “America Party” after Trump signed his signature bill of tax breaks and spending cuts. The bill was criticized by Musk and fiscal hawks for raising the national deficit, while it was criticized by Democrats for its massive cuts to Medicaid.

President Donald Trump and Elon Musk are trading public insults after the Tesla billionaire suggested he'll create a new political party, "America Party."
