Many crypto figureheads claimed that they would \u201cvote\u201d for Elon Musk\u2019s America Party if it championed Bitcoin.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCrypto could be the strongest tool to fight inflation, and Washington\u2019s addiction to money printing and runaway spending,\u201d said Mario Nawfal in his <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/MarioNawfal\/status\/1942036649082237066\" target=\"_blank\">post<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<p>Director of Bitcoin Strategy at Scientific, Joe Burnett, also <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/IIICapital\/status\/1942032680985481316\" target=\"_blank\">voiced<\/a> out his support for Musk\u2019s views on fiat being a hopeless currency. He stated that digital money could be instrumental in creating economic incentives for smaller more efficient government systems.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s less about politics and more about creating monetary tools that restructure the economic incentives,\u201d Burnett weighed in, replying to Musk\u2019s earlier post.<\/p>\n<p>In response to Musk\u2019s idea to form a third political party, his ally-turned-rival President Donald Trump <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/114808616176041421\" target=\"_blank\">said<\/a> that Musk had gone \u201coff the rails\u201d in the past few weeks. He said a third party would only serve to create disruption and chaos to the existing system.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe even wants to start a Third Political Party, despite the fact that they have never succeeded in the United States \u2013 The System seems not designed for them,\u201d said Trump in a TruthSocial <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/114808616176041421\" target=\"_blank\">post<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Elon Musk\u2019s America Party?<\/h2>\n<p>Earlier this month on July 4th, Musk <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/elonmusk\/status\/1941125459628179641\" target=\"_blank\">announced<\/a> his plans to form the America Party. He launched a poll on X asking whether he should create an independent party to challenge the current two-party system in the U.S. The poll received over 1.2 million votes, with 65.4% voting YES to the America party.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIndependence Day is the perfect time to ask if you want independence from the two-party (some would say uniparty) system!\u201d said Musk in his <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/elonmusk\/status\/1941125459628179641\" target=\"_blank\">post<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Although the party itself has yet to be fully realized, Musk has stated that the way to carry out an independent party would be to secure two to three Senate sears and around eight to 10 House districts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGiven the razor-thin legislative margins, that would be enough to serve as the deciding vote on contentious laws, ensuring that they serve the true will of the people,\u201d continued Musk.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, Elon Musk and President Donald Trump had a falling out which resulted in a big political blowout between the two men who were once political allies. In June, Musk called Trump\u2019s $3.4 trillion Big, Beautiful Bill a \u201cdisgusting abomination\u201d and accused Republican lawmakers of fiscal dishonesty.<\/p>\n<p>The Big Beautiful Bill is a massive spending and tax bill that includes signature policies of President Trump\u2019s second-term. The bill passed with a House vote of 218 to 214. It includes several items including an extension of the 2017 tax cuts, cuts to health care and food programs, as well as other tax cuts and breaks.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Elon Musk plans to establish a new party called \u2018America Party\u2019 to challenge the two-party system in the U.S. He claims the party will support Bitcoin, as he deems fiat&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1401,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5155","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cryptocurrency"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5155","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5155"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5155\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5156,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5155\/revisions\/5156"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1401"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5155"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5155"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5155"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
