Donald Trump has harshly criticized Elon Musk’s creation of a new political group, the “America Party,” calling it “ridiculous” and warning it would only bring chaos. Musk announced the party on his social platform X over the weekend, saying it aims to break America’s two-party system and return freedom to the people.
Tensions between the former allies have escalated, especially after Musk criticized Trump’s $3.3 trillion spending bill and accused him of bankrupting the country. Trump responded by threatening to slash federal subsidies to Musk’s companies and even joked about deporting the South African-born billionaire.
Trump allies, including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, urged Musk to focus on his businesses rather than politics. Musk claimed the new party will influence close congressional races, giving Americans a real alternative.
With the feud reignited and no clear party structure yet, many are watching whether Musk’s political experiment will disrupt—or fizzle out.
