Elon Musk announces creation of “America Party” after criticism of Trump’s spending bill
2025/07/06 05:55On Saturday, Elon Musk surprised everyone by announcing the creation of the “America Party,” a new political alternative aimed at breaking with the bipartisan hegemony of the United States. The decision came shortly after President Donald Trump signed the controversial bill dubbed the “Big Beautiful Bill,” which includes tax cuts, increased discretionary spending and reduced social benefits.
Despite having supported Trump in the 2024 elections, Musk was blunt in his opposition to the proposal. In previous statements, the billionaire had already mocked the name of the project, saying that “no project can be big and beautiful at the same time”, and argued that effective initiatives must be lean and well-formulated.
By a factor of 2 to 1, you want a new political party and you shall have it!
When it comes to bankrupting our country with waste & graft, we live in a one-party system, not a democracy.
Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom.

On the Monday before the bill passed, Musk had issued a blunt warning: if the “insane spending bill” went ahead, he would create a new political group to represent the interests of the people, outside the framework of the current Democratic-Republican system. With the bill’s approval in Congress and presidential signature, Musk made good on his promise and formalized his intention to launch the “Party of America.”
“Our country needs an alternative to the Democratic-Republican one-party system so that the people can truly have a VOICE,” Musk wrote on his Facebook profile. He then launched a poll among his 221 million followers, asking whether he should start the new party. The response was overwhelming: more than 65% of the 1,2 million participants voted “yes.”
The impact of the announcement also reverberated in the cryptocurrency market. Several meme tokens inspired by the name “America Party” registered significant increases, according to data from GeckoTerminal. Despite the enthusiasm on social media and digital markets, there is no concrete evidence so far that Musk is legally structuring the new party.
The proposal, however, is already stirring up both the political debate and the crypto community, especially investors attentive to token trends driven by cultural phenomena and statements from influential figures like Musk.

Goldman Sachs believes that the AI investment cycle is currently in the "trough of disillusionment," but this is not the first time. The core contradiction lies in the fact that the business models of new cloud computing providers are highly dependent on end-user returns from AI spending, while currently "there are basically zero companies that can attribute profits to AI." Social Capital founder Palihapitiya has clearly defined an 18-month key window, during which the market will decide which AI business models are sustainable and which are not.
Anthropic's Core Concern: Revenue Can Be Withdrawn at Any Time, but Computing Power Costs Are Locked in for up to 20 Years
Zheshang Securities believes that Anthropic's revenue is mainly based on usage-based billing, with remaining performance obligations covering only about 5.1 months of annualized revenue, while compute power costs are already locked in with $895.4 billion in irrevocable commitments, some extending as far as 2045. Revenues can be reduced at any time, but costs are non-exitable, creating a highly asymmetric maturity gap between the two—this is the company's real core constraint.
Triple Pressure from the Federal Reserve, Treasury, and Congress; Goldman Sachs: Liquidity Crisis May Occur in 2027
Goldman Sachs warns that the reserve ratio of bank assets has dropped to around 11%, only slightly above the crisis trough of 2019. In the second half of 2027, a deadlock in debt ceiling negotiations will force the Treasury to rebuild the TGA, triggering a "perfect storm" of a sharp drop in reserves and a surge in T-bill supply; combined with stalled money market fund buying, this will create a huge liquidity black hole. The Federal Reserve could be forced into the awkward position of lowering interest rates and launching large-scale bond purchases to rescue the market.
