He slammed the creation as ridiculous and a threat to GOP unity, according to sources from both Rolling Stone and Business Today. Former allies, Musk and Trump now find themselves on opposing sides, with Musk targeting Trump’s new spending bill.

“I think it’s ridiculous to start a third party,” Donald Trump emphasized, dismissing Musk’s attempt as futile and confusing for voters.
Despite Trump’s disapproval, Musk appears determined to channel his resources towards advancing smaller, yet significant political transformation. As tensions rise, the question remains whether Musk’s new party will manage to carve out its place.
