Elon Musk, the renowned entrepreneur and head of Tesla and SpaceX, raised the question of the possibility of creating a new political party in the U.S. This proposal came amid a conflict with former President Donald Trump.
Proposal for a New Party
On Thursday, Elon Musk posted a poll asking his followers if it was time to create a new political party that represented 80% of the population. According to the poll, over 80% of participants agreed with this idea.
Conflict with Donald Trump
The conflict between Musk and Trump intensified after Trump's sharp comments about Musk. Trump threatens to cancel all government contracts with Musk's companies and claimed that Musk was 'wearing thin' by the end of his government stint. In response, Musk accused Trump of serious violations, claiming he is mentioned in Jeffrey Epstein's files.
Democrats React to the Situation
The situation has led to a reassessment of Democrats' positions regarding Musk. Some representatives believe that despite his controversial actions, he could be a valuable ally. Representative Ro Khanna called on the Democratic Party to work on convincing Musk that they share his values like support for science and clean energy.
The conflict between Elon Musk and Donald Trump, along with Musk's proposal to create a new political party, vividly illustrates the dynamic situation in American politics, affecting both supporters and detractors.
