The story, citing unnamed sources, alleged internal concerns and strategic recalculations at Tesla, SpaceX, and Musk\u2019s advisory group.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>But Musk quickly denied the X report, accusing the Wall Street Journal of fabricating the story. His response sparked a strong reaction online, particularly from America Party supporters and holders of the community-run America Party Token (AP).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Musk&#8217;s public denial of the WSJ report suggests that the America Party launch is not only still on track, but imminent.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The <em>Journal<\/em> claims Musk is cooling on the America Party idea, refocusing on his businesses, and wary of upsetting top Republicans \u2014 including Vice President JD Vance. One source said Musk might even support Vance in a 2028 presidential run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To back that up, it points to Musk canceling strategy sessions with third-party political consultants, ghosting political figures like Andrew Yang and Mark Cuban, and not engaging with groups such as the Libertarian Party, which had shown interest in joining forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On paper, it does look like a pause \u2014 or at least a pivot. But Musk\u2019s direct denial raises the question: Is he regrouping, or just playing his cards closer to the chest?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Either way, if he <em>is<\/em> rethinking the America Party, it\u2019s not something he\u2019s ready to admit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>READ NEXT: <a href=\"https:\/\/greatamericanewsdesk.com\/news\/tulsi-gabbard-revokes-security-clearance-from-37-intelligence-officials\/njackson\/2025\/08\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Top Cabinet Official Announces Major Intelligence Overhaul<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class= \"house-ad\"><center><p class= \"sponsored\">Sponsored<\/p><strong><span style=\" color:#ff0004\" class=\" has-inline-color has-text-align-center\"><a href= \"https:\/\/secure.winred.com\/karrin-for-arizona\/20250818-flex8764-d-eml-1?utm_term=db-robson-em11-004&#038;source_code=db-robson-em11-004&#038;utm_campaign=067000000053063&#038;utm_medium=email&#038;xuno=38373634&#038;amount=18.50\">This swing state is slipping.
