Elon Musk’s ‘The America Party’ Could Lead to a Meme Coin Boom, If Launched
2025/07/01 08:24US President Trump and Elon Musk are feuding again over the Big Beautiful Bill, with Musk threatening to launch a new political party if it passes. The America Party (TAP)-themed meme coins are already spiking in anticipation of the new initiative.
Crypto and US politics are becoming increasingly entangled, and the latest Musk-Trump saga can potentially create a new meme coin season, for better or worse.
Musk and Trump Fallout Again
Tesla CEO and crypto proponent Elon Musk publicly feuded with President Trump nearly a month ago, leading to a swarm of new meme coins.
Musk attempted to reconcile with the President shortly after, calming the markets, but conflict is starting again. As both parties hurl acrimonious rhetoric at the other, the meme coin community is taking full advantage.
If this insane spending bill passes, the America Party will be formed the next day. Our country needs an alternative to the Democrat-Republican uniparty so that the people actually have a VOICE.

Specifically, Musk is a staunch opponent of the Big Beautiful Bill on several levels. He opposes its high spending for ideological reasons, in line with his stance as a deficit hawk.
As an electric car manufacturer, he also dislikes the bill’s provisions for taxing green energy. Musk firmly believes that the bill will damage the US economy.
At this point, the feud is probably personal for both individuals. The US president has even threatened him with deportation. While the two men could reconcile again, at the current level, this fallout will likely extend.
Yesterday, Musk vowed to found a new political party if Trump’s budget bill became law. Musk already teased this action during the last feud, proposing to call this group “The America Party” (TAP).
Prediction markets like Kalshi already had odds on Musk creating TAP, and these spiked to 41% today. The Tesla founder also retweeted Kalshi odds, showing how serious he is about forming this new political party.

During last month’s fallout, a meme coin called ‘The American Party’ emerged on Pump.Fun’s decentralized exchange, PumpSwap. It even gained $5 million in market cap, but quickly flatlined after the feud seemingly ended.
After Musk’s tweets today, the TAP meme coin is rallying again.

On the surface, then, it looks like a straightforward opportunity. Elon Musk is a huge figure in the meme coin community, and his split with Trump is generating a lot of memes.
So, any developments in this feud, and also Musk forming a new political party, could potentially lead to a meme coin spree. On DexScreener, the trending meme coins show a clear trend of being inspired by American political events and stories.
The meme coin impact of today’s conflict is already very visible. Dogecoin, which is highly associated with almost anything Elon Musk does, dipped nearly 4% after Trump’s deportation threats.
So, a major political move by the Tesla founder could also impact DOGE in any direction.

Overall, the US crypto market right now is heavily driven by political speculation.
So, it seems evident that this public conflict between the US president and the richest man in the world will, to some extent, have a notable impact on the meme coin market.

The "Eye of the Storm" in the Global Economy: Debt Crisis in Developed Countries
The IMF warns that developed economies are becoming the "eye of the storm" for global debt risks. Countries such as the United States and France accumulated high levels of debt during periods of low interest rates, but now rising interest rates are pushing up repayment costs, and fiscal consolidation faces political resistance. BofA Securities points out that the United States is facing declining tax revenues, France has structural income decline issues, and the UK and Japan are also under pressure. The deteriorating debt sustainability of developed countries may impact global financial markets through shocks in interest rates and capital flows.
The US market narrative undergoes a "dramatic reversal": shifting from "AI-driven deflation and controllable US debt" to "AI squeezing the bond market, and Bassen unable to control long-term interest rates"
Deutsche Bank points out that the market narrative regarding the U.S. economy has shifted from "AI drives down inflation" to "AI-related bond issuance pushes up U.S. Treasury yields," but pessimism may be overdone. The bank believes that the real risks underestimated by the market are security incidents in the AI ecosystem, failed IPOs, or underwhelming revenues, which could undermine the dollar and support the bond market. In addition, France's fiscal difficulties are putting new pressure on the euro.
