‘It’s ridiculous’: Donald Trump mocks Elon Musk’s ‘America Party’, says it’s good for ‘chaos’

Trump was asked about Musk’s new political outfit after the tech billionaire escalated his feud with the Republican president by announcing the new party, in response to Trump’s ‘Big, Beautiful bill’ passing the Congress and becoming a law. Musk has long opposed the bill and said it will only increase the debt on the American economy and people.

While criticizing Musk’s idea to have a third political party, Trump said “It really seems to have been developed for two parties. Third parties have never worked, so he can have fun with it, but I think it’s ridiculous.”

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.

Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom. https://t.co/9K8AD04QQN

Musk announced the formation of the “America Party” on Saturday in a post on X after conducting a poll on whether the United States requires a third party. Musk’s party is a direct result of Trump’s coveted tax-cut and spending bill which passed the US Senate and House of Representatives by the Republicans and was signed into law by the president on July 4.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump said Musk has completely gone “off the rails,” and has become a “train wreck” over the past five weeks. Trump said the third party which Musk wants to start doesn’t seem to have been designed for the United States. “The one thing Third Parties are good for is the creation of Complete and Total DISRUPTION & CHAOS,” Trump said.

Trump called out Musk for not supporting the ‘One Big, Beautiful Bill Act’ as it removes the EV mandate. “I have been strongly opposed to that from the very beginning. People are now allowed to buy whatever they want – Gasoline Powered, Hybrids (which are doing very well), or New Technologies as they come about – No more EV Mandate,” Trump said in the post.
