The announcement from Musk comes after President Donald Trump signed a tax-cut and spending bill into law on Friday, which the billionaire chief executive officer of Tesla fiercely opposed.
Earlier this week, Donald Trump warned that he would revoke the billions in federal subsidies granted to Elon Musk’s companies and even suggested the possibility of deporting the SpaceX CEO from the United States.
Musk said previously that he would start a new political party and spend money to unseat lawmakers who supported the bill.
All 435 US House seats are up for grabs every two years, while about one-third of the Senate’s 100 members, who serve six-year terms, are elected every two years.
