Elon Musk has announced the creation of a new political force called 'The America Party,' prompting a significant reaction from former President Donald Trump.
Trump Critiques Musk's Initiative
Donald Trump slammed Musk's political ambitions, calling them a 'train wreck.' He expressed concerns that the creation of a third party could split Republican votes in the upcoming 2026 elections. 'The system seems not designed for them,' noted Trump.
Launch of the 'America Party'
Shortly after Trump's comments, Musk confirmed the launch of the 'America Party' via platform X. This announcement came as a response to Congress passing the controversial tax-and-spending bill, which Musk opposed. Filings linked to the America Party began appearing with the Federal Election Commission, although some were already declared fake.
Financial Bill as a Catalyst for Conflict
The clash between Trump and Musk largely centers around the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act,' which Musk called a 'disgusting abomination.' This bill is expected to increase the national debt by $3.3 trillion and contradicts the mission of DOGE, where Musk briefly served. He had previously threatened to oust any GOP lawmaker who supported the bill.
The establishment of 'The America Party' by Elon Musk marks a significant event in the U.S. political landscape and may impact election outcomes in the coming years.
