Donald Trump has voiced criticism of Elon Musk's actions and ideas related to the formation of a new political party.
Trump's Criticism of Musk
On Sunday, Donald Trump posted on Truth Social expressing, "I am saddened to watch Elon Musk go completely 'off the rails,' essentially becoming a TRAIN WRECK over the past five weeks."
Musk's New Political Party Idea
Elon Musk announced the launch of a new political party called the 'America Party,' claiming that Americans desire something new. He stated that research showed voters preferred a new party by 'a factor of 2 to 1' and blamed both major parties for waste and corruption.
Political Consequences of the Feud
The feud has led to threats, declining polls, and growing divides within the party. A YouGov poll showed that Musk's favorability among Republicans dropped by 20 points, while nearly 40% of Americans indicated they would support Musk's new party.
The conflict between Trump and Musk highlights increasing divisions in the political landscape of the U.S., sparking discussions about the futures of both Musk and the Republican Party.
