Trump Criticizes Elon Musk's Plan for New Political Party

Former close allies, Trump and Musk, have clashed over Musk's new political party, the America Party, aimed at challenging the Republican and Democratic parties. Trump criticized the move, stating that a third party would only add confusion to the existing two-party system. Musk, known for his criticism of government policies increasing national debt, plans to focus on House and Senate elections in the next 12 months.

Trump, on the other hand, expressed disappointment in Musk's direction, particularly his push for an Electric Vehicle Mandate, which Trump opposed in his recent tax and spending plan. The plan, signed into law on July 4, eliminated tax breaks for electric vehicles and emphasized consumer choice in vehicle purchases. The legislation also included increased spending in border security, defence, and energy production, with cuts to healthcare and food-support programs.

Musk's announcement of the new party came amidst public disagreements with Trump over spending plans, marking a shift in their once-close relationship.
