The president’s former supporter announced Saturday he was forming an independent political party.
Saying Elon Musk was “essentially becoming a TRAIN WRECK,” President Donald Trump on Sunday expressed disappointment that his formerly loyal supporter has decided to form a political party.
“I am saddened to watch Elon Musk go completely ‘off the rails,’ essentially becoming a TRAIN WRECK over the past five weeks. He even wants to start a Third Political Party, despite the fact that they have never succeeded in the United States,” Trump said in a Truth Social post on Sunday.
Frustrated with Republicans for passing the megabill last week, Musk on Saturday announced the launch of the America Party, saying his own research indicated it would be eagerly supported by Americans.
“By a factor of 2 to 1, you want a new political party and you shall have it! When it comes to bankrupting our country with waste & graft, we live in a one-party system, not a democracy,” Musk wrote. “Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom.”
Trump clearly didn’t agree with Musk on the need for another political party.
“The one thing Third Parties are good for is the creation of Complete and Total DISRUPTION & CHAOS,” Trump wrote in his Truth Social post, “and we have enough of that with the Radical Left Democrats, who have lost their confidence and their minds! Republicans, on the other hand, are a smooth running ‘machine,’ that just passed the biggest Bill of its kind in the History of our Country.”
