After a disagreement with Donald Trump involving a controversial bill, Elon Musk announced he plans to form his own political party.
Musk and Trump formed a political partnership that seemed lasting, with the businessman even gifting the American president a brand-new Tesla car.
However, the two fell out when Trump revealed his plans for a “big and beautiful” bill that, among other things, proposed new taxes for sectors of green energy production initiatives, such as wind and solar.
Musk called the bill “completely insane and destructive” and said it would cost “millions of jobs.” On X (formerly Twitter), he stated that if the “big and beautiful” bill is approved, he will create his own political party.
“If this insane spending bill passes, the America Party will be formed the next day. Our country needs an alternative to the Democrat-Republican one-party system so that the people actually have a VOICE.”
Earlier the same day, he targeted supporters of Trump’s bill by saying: “They will lose the primaries next year, even if it’s the last thing I do on Earth.”
If this insane spending bill passes, the America Party will be formed the next day.
Our country needs an alternative to the Democrat-Republican uniparty so that the people actually have a VOICE.
