Donald Trump blasted his former buddy Elon Musk after the tech billionaire started a new political party. The president called Musk's move totally ridiculous and said third parties never work in America. Trump ripped into Musk on his Truth Social account and called him a complete train wreck. The two men used to be best friends when Musk ran the government cost-cutting department. Their friendship crashed after they disagreed about Trump's massive spending plan.
Musk announced his America Party on Saturday and said he wants to shake up politics. The SpaceX chief thinks both Republicans and Democrats spend too much money and wreck the country's finances. He posted angry messages about the current political system on his X platform. Musk believes America has turned into a one-party system that wastes taxpayer cash. The former government efficiency leader promises to fight against lawmakers who voted for Trump's spending bill.
Trump fired back hard at his old ally during a news conference at his golf club. He told reporters that Musk has gone completely off track over the past five weeks. The president thinks third parties just create chaos and confusion for voters. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent also took shots at Musk and said he should focus on running his companies instead. Musk quit his government job in May after getting a golden key ceremony at the White House.
