Donald Trump Dismisses Elon Musk's 'America Party' Plan as Ridiculous

A day after billionaire Elon Musk announced the launch of a new political outfit called the 'America Party', United States President Donald Trump dismissed the move as 'ridiculous' and warned it would only sow confusion in the country's political system.

On his platform Truth Social, Trump doubled down, accusing Musk of having 'gone completely off the rails' in recent weeks.

Trump also took aim at Musk's core business interests, claiming the billionaire's new political venture was at odds with recent Republican policy moves.

The President also revealed Musk had sought to have a close associate from the space industry appointed as NASA chief — a request Trump claims he rejected to avoid conflicts of interest given Musk’s sprawling space contracts.

Trump's comments came after US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent also took a swipe at Musk, urging him to focus on his companies instead of politics.

Elon Musk unveiled the 'America Party' with a series of posts on X, blasting both Republicans and Democrats for what he called wasteful spending.

Musk has signalled that the America Party will target key House and Senate races, hoping to hold the balance of power in a closely divided Congress.

The falling out between Musk and Trump has become increasingly personal in the recent past.

The White House has so far declined to comment on the escalating feud.
