Elon Musk has threatened to shake up the US political system by creating his own party following the much-publicized fallout with President Trump, and AI has evaluated quite how how of an effect this could have on the future of the nation.
Despite officially departing from politics at the end of his Special Government Employee role as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Elon Musk has vowed to make a dramatic return with his own opposition party.
He was considered by many to be Trump's right-hand man in the early months of the year, but a major disagreement centered around the future of electric vehicles and the newly proposed 'Big Beautiful Bill' saw their relationship go up in flames.
The political world's eyes were transfixed on the social media spat between the pair, where wild allegations were thrown from either side, and Musk in particular has continued to fuel tensions by targeting the aforementioned Senate bill.

He vowed to fund opposition campaigns against any Republican lawmakers that voted for the bill, and critically promised to form his very own political opposition in the form of the 'America Party'.
"If this insane spending bill passes, the America Party will be formed the next day," wrote Musk on X. "Our country needs an alternative to the Democrat-Republican uniparty so that the people actually have a VOICE."

Many expect the ramifications of a new Musk-led political party to be significant, but AI has offered its own chilling prediction of events.
What has ChatGPT said about Elon Musk's political party?
When asking ChatGPT what would happen if Elon Musk was to successfully start the America Party, it responded by indicating that it "could significantly disrupt the US political landscape, particularly within the Republican Party."
First and foremost you would imagine that a significant portion of the America Party's potential voters would be drawn from the existing Republican pool, especially those who might have voted for Trump following Musk's co-sign.

While Musk has claimed that the party would cater to the '80% in the middle', indicating that it would target centrist voters, his right wing to far-right leanings over the past year imply that he would be running directly against Republicans and Trump on a policy level.

ChatGPT suggests that Musk could garner significant popularity with younger, tech-savvy voters that might perhaps identify more as Libertarian thanks to his position within the tech world, and that could play a major role in areas that the Republican party holds a small majority.
Additionally, evidence from the Wisconsin Supreme Court race - which Musk infamously failed to help secure despite significant financial promises - indicates that Musk's presence in politics can actually mobilize a Democratic voter base due to their opposition.

More voters might be motivated to vote against a Musk-led party if he were to create it, and that could see positive vote swings in favor of Democrat candidates.
Musk's general popularity has sunk dramatically over the past year especially though, with a net favorability of -14 as reported by Business Insider, so it remains still uncertain whether he would have the popularity or pulling power to truly unseat the political dominance of the Democrat and Republican parties.
Of course, the elephant in the room would also be Musk's leadership of the party, as he would be ineligible for presidency thanks to being born in South Africa - and no loopholes exist to help him make his way into the Oval Office.
