What Happened: On Sunday, Donald Trump expressed his discontent with Elon Musk over his announcement of the “America Party.”

Trump criticized Musk for his intention to establish a third political party, describing it as a “Train Wreck.” The president argued that third parties have historically failed in the U.S. and only cause “Disruption & Chaos.”

“The System seems not designed for them,” wrote Trump on Truth Social.

He also highlighted the recent success of the Republican Party, which passed a major bill eliminating the Electric Vehicle Mandate. Trump emphasized that he has always opposed the mandate, advocating for consumer choice in vehicle purchases.

Trump mentioned that Musk had previously endorsed him despite knowing his stance on the EV Mandate. He also raised concerns about Musk’s suggestion for a NASA appointment, questioning the appropriateness of Musk’s friend, a Democrat, for the role.

The president said that his “Number One charge is to protect the American Public!”

Why It Matters: Musk’s recent political activities, including the formation of the “America Party,” have stirred significant attention. He launched this party following Trump’s signing of a historic spending bill. Musk’s dissatisfaction with the bill and the two-party system prompted this move.

The entrepreneur’s displeasure with Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill” led to a poll where 80% of respondents supported a new party.

Notably, the Libertarian Party had invited him to join their ranks, suggesting that forming a new party might be a mistake.
