Elon Musk on Saturday evening officially announced the creation of a new political party, which he called the “America Party.”

Musk has been at odds with President Donald Trump over the One Big, Beautiful Bill, which was signed into law on Friday. He has taken to the term “uniparty” to describe both Republicans and Democrats, claiming that neither party is willing to deal with spending.

“By a factor of 2 to 1, you want a new political party and you shall have it!” Musk said on X, referring to a poll the billionaire posted on Friday.

“When it comes to bankrupting our country with waste & graft, we live in a one-party system, not a democracy,” he added. “Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom.”

Musk suggested the new party will focus on reducing debt and regulation. It will promote “responsible spending only,” free speech, and the modernization of the U.S. Military, among other political issues.

Yeah!

On Friday, Musk seemed to outline his targeted strategy with the new party. He said it would make sense to focus on “2 or 3 Senate seats and 8 to 10 House districts,” to effectively swing votes in Congress.

“One way to execute on this would be to laser-focus on just 2 or 3 Senate seats and 8 to 10 House districts,” Musk wrote. “Given 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.”

Musk’s rift with Trump started last month over the bill. Musk went so far as to publicly suggest the president had unsavory ties to Jeffrey Epstein and was repressing the release of the Epstein Files to protect himself, though Musk later said he regretted his attacks on Trump, saying some of them “went too far.”

Last week, Trump suggested he could have Musk’s brainchild, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), look into the tech billionaire and the massive amount of government subsidies he receives for his businesses.

“DOGE is the monster that might have to go back and eat Elon,” the president told the press.

The announcement from Musk comes with Trump on a roll politically. Not only has he secured a victory with Congress passing his signature legislation, but he is still riding high from negotiating peace between Iran and Israel. And on July 4, as Trump signed the One, Big Beautiful Bill into law, B-2 bombers flew overhead to honor the successful strike on Iran’s nuclear program, and remind Americans of his achievements.

Two American contractors were injured in Gaza on Saturday after terrorists threw two grenades in their direction at the humanitarian aid distribution site where they were working.

The United States-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation said that the two highly decorated American veterans employed at their site are receiving medical treatment and are in stable condition.

According to GHF, following the successful distribution of food aid to Gazans, two assailants threw Iranian-made grenades packed with ball bearings at the contractors before running into the crowd of civilians. No civilians or Gazan workers were injured in the attack.

The Israel Defense Forces facilitated the evacuation of the two victims following the attack for medical treatment, according to IDF International Spokesman Lt. Col. Nadav Shoshani.

These are fragments of a grenade packed with ball bearings, two of which were thrown by Hamas at American aid workers delivering food in Gaza.

The men who threw them then ran into a crowd of civilians.

This is what those trying to feed civilians now face.

The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation believes that Hamas is responsible for the attack.

“Yesterday, GHF marked the 4th of July with 60 million meals delivered on behalf of America — and a wish for Gaza’s independence from fear and terror,” GHF director Rev. Johnnie Moore wrote on X. “Hamas responded by throwing grenades at two Americans feeding hungry families. Violence is always their answer to hope.”

The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation says Hamas last put bounties on the heads of its Gazan and American workers.

“According to these reports, Hamas has placed bounties on both our American security personnel and Palestinian aid workers—offering cash rewards to anyone who injures or kills them,” GHF said last Saturday. “In recent days, Hamas has also pre-positioned armed operatives near humanitarian zones in an effort to disrupt the only functioning aid delivery system in Gaza.”

Last month, a senior Trump administration official confirmed to The Daily Wire that Hamas was threatening the contractors.

“While the GHF has so far provided upwards of 40 million meals, Hamas is threatening violence — this time to humanitarian workers, which includes Americans, at the GHF sites themselves,” the official said. “This administration remains laser-focused on Gaza despite other events in the region.”

The senior official warned that Hamas should “be careful not to miscalculate.”

The threats made against the American contractors were often made indirectly, using intermediaries, including some of the Gazan workers.

Sources familiar with GHF’s operations told The Daily Wire that several suspicious men have routinely visited GHF’s distribution sites without taking food, and instead appear to be monitoring GHF workers and their security systems. The sources believe that the military-aged men are part of Hamas and enter the sites to “size up” GHF’s security, weapons, and fighting positions.

Individuals entering the aid distribution centers are not subject to security screenings due to food urgency levels, and often come within meters of the American personnel. The American security contractors do not have the authority to detain the suspicious men for questioning and do not share information with the IDF about the suspected Hamas members.

Hamas has routinely, publicly and privately threatened Gazan humanitarian workers at the site and people seeking aid, calling them “collaborators” coordinating in “the enemy’s schemes.”

“All collaborators, thieves, and criminal armed gangs are legitimate targets for the resistance units and security,” Hamas said in a joint statement with other Palestinian factions, according to the Foundation for Defense of Democracies.

Last month, Hamas assassinated around a dozen Palestinian GHF workers while they were taking a bus to aid distribution sites ahead of their first day of work. Seriously injured survivors were reportedly denied treatment at Nasser Hospital, according to GHF.

“Hamas views GHF as a threat to its control,” a source familiar with GHF’s operations said. “GHF’s secure delivery model prevents Hamas from diverting, taxing, or controlling aid. By delivering food directly to civilians without interference, GHF undermines Hamas’s grip over the population and its ability to weaponize aid for political leverage.”

GHF has condemned the majority of the international community for being silent about Hamas’s threats to their aid distribution program.

“For weeks, we warned this would happen,” the group said in a statement. “We asked the aid community to condemn threats. They stayed silent. We asked the media to stop laundering Hamas lies. They kept printing. Today, Hamas followed through by attacking American veterans with grenades as they delivered food. The silence is deafening. At what point is allowing Hamas to terrorize aid workers and run a propaganda campaign through Western media no longer acceptable?”

TRUMP HAS BEEN CLEAR FOR 14 YEARS THAT IRAN CANNOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON

Since GHF began operating on May 26, the group has provided more than 62 million free meals to Gazans, with 1.8 million delivered on Saturday.

GHF says it will continue to contribute aid, despite the attack and Hamas’s ongoing threats.

“With Hamas no good deed goes unpunished,” United States Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee posted to X following the attack.

State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce condemned the attacks in a statement, claiming it shows the depravity of Hamas.

“This act of violence against the people actually bringing relief to Gazans lays bare the depravity of Hamas,” Bruce said. “GHF has contributed over 62 MILLION MEALS – nothing will stop these courageous aid workers. We are praying for the rapid recovery of the injured Americans.”
