Donald Trump and Elon Musk Clash Over New Political Party
US President Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk are engaged in a war of words over Musk's new political party, the 'American Party'. Trump criticized Musk's political aspirations, leading to a tense exchange between the two influential figures.

US President Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk have once again clashed over Musk's new political party, the 'American Party'. In a social media post, Trump expressed disappointment in Musk's recent behavior, accusing him of becoming a 'train wreck' over the past few weeks. Trump also mentioned Musk's desire to start a third political party, despite historical challenges faced by such parties in the United States.
The dispute between Trump and Musk stems from Trump's recent signing of a significant spending and tax bill, which Musk vehemently opposed, citing concerns about increasing US debt. Trump implied that Musk's opposition to the bill was due to its impact on the electric vehicle mandate, which would have required everyone to purchase an electric car within a short timeframe.
Following the bill's passage, Musk criticized the move, claiming that the US political system is dominated by a 'one-party system'. Musk conducted a poll on social media, asking users if they wanted independence from the two-party system that has long controlled US politics. The majority of respondents supported the idea of a new political party, prompting Musk to announce the formation of the 'American Party' to challenge the existing Republican and Democratic parties.
