Former U.S. President Donald Trump has called Elon Musk’s newly launched “America Party” a “ridiculous” idea, saying it’s unnecessary in a country that already has a strong two-party system. Speaking to reporters before getting on Air Force One, Trump said that creating third parties only adds to confusion in American politics.
Elon Musk formed the America Party after sharply criticizing Trump’s latest tax and spending bill, which he claims will increase the national deficit by $5 trillion. Musk believes that the bill is bad for the country and shows poor financial planning.
Trump didn’t take the criticism lightly. He later posted on his platform, Truth Social, mocking Musk and calling him a “train wreck.” The message was clearly aimed at downplaying Musk’s political move and leadership style.
In response, Musk fired back by saying he plans to challenge Republican lawmakers who supported the bill. He made it clear that his America Party will take action in the upcoming elections, especially against those who back what he believes are harmful financial policies.
This growing disagreement between the two influential figures has now turned into a political battle. While Trump remains a strong figure in the Republican Party, Musk is entering politics in his own way, hoping to build a new voice through the America Party.
As the situation unfolds, many are watching closely to see if Musk’s new party will gain support or if it will struggle in a system long dominated by just two major parties.
