plowunited.net – Donald Trump openly criticized Elon Musk’s recent decision to start a new political party. He described the move as “ridiculous” during a press briefing while returning to the White House. From his golf club in New Jersey. Trump emphasized that third parties have historically failed in the U.S., implying Musk’s effort is unlikely to succeed.

Trump expanded on his views in a lengthy post on his social platform, Truth Social. He expressed sadness over Musk’s recent actions, calling them “off the rails” and likened Musk’s political efforts to a “train wreck.” Trump argued that third parties only cause “complete and total disruption and chaos” in American politics. He suggested Musk’s motivations stemmed from frustration over plans to end subsidies for electric vehicles.
Further criticism came when Trump accused Musk of seeking undue influence by trying to nominate his friend Jared Isaacman to lead NASA. Trump found the idea inappropriate, pointing out that NASA’s significance to Musk’s businesses posed a conflict of interest. Isaacman’s nomination was later withdrawn after Musk left his government role.
Trump’s former treasury secretary, Scott Bessent, also advised Musk to focus on managing his companies rather than politics. Bessent referenced Musk’s unpopular tenure heading the Department of Government Efficiency, known as Doge, and suggested Musk’s corporate boards likely prefer his full attention on business.
Musk’s announcement of the new America Party came after his criticism of Trump’s recent tax and spending bill. He called the bill responsible for “bankrupting” the country and framed his party as a response to the current two-party system’s failures.
Musk’s America Party and the Growing Rift With Trump
Elon Musk launched the America Party to challenge the established two-party system. He announced it via his social media platform, X, stating it aims to restore freedom to Americans. Musk highlighted that the current political system enables “waste and graft,” which he believes his party can disrupt.
The new party plans to target a few Senate and House seats, hoping to influence legislative decisions in a closely divided Congress. Musk suggested this approach would allow the America Party to sway votes on major laws, representing the “true will of the people.”
The relationship between Musk and Trump has soured further following Musk’s formation of the new party. Earlier this summer, they clashed publicly, including a controversial post Musk made linking Trump to Jeffrey Epstein’s associates, which Musk later deleted and apologized for.

Recently, Musk reignited tensions by reposting a photo questioning why only one Epstein associate is imprisoned, renewing accusations related to sex crimes. Musk’s outspoken stance signals a deeper break with Trump, who in turn threatened to deport Musk and criticized subsidies to Musk’s companies.
Trump’s skepticism about Musk’s political ambitions and his public remarks indicate a fracturing alliance between the two. Meanwhile, Musk continues to position himself as a disruptor of the U.S. political landscape, investing substantial resources and influence. As this political drama unfolds, Musk’s America Party could reshape future elections. Especially if it manages to secure key congressional seats. The coming months will reveal if Musk’s bold venture can break the long-standing two-party dominance.
