Elon Musk announced his yet-to-be-registered political party, 'The American Party,' backing Bitcoin and criticizing wasteful government spending.
Musk plans to field candidates for the US Senate and House, initially focusing on state-level support before eyeing a White House run.
Musk's companies, Tesla and SpaceX, hold a significant amount of Bitcoin, tying his political project to the cryptocurrency.
However, hurdles like regulatory challenges, ballot access requirements, and handling crypto volatility pose significant obstacles for Musk's political ambitions.
