Elon Musk's Sly Response To Donald Trump's 'Off The Rails' Remarks Deepens Feud

(MENAFN- Live Mint) US President Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk have once again engaged in a war of words, this time over Musk's new political party, the 'American Party'.

In a long post on Truth social media platfor , Trump said he is“saddened to watch Elon Musk go completely 'off the rails,' essentially becoming a TRAIN WRECK over the past five weeks.”

Trump said Musk“even wants to start a Third Political Party, despite the fact that they have never succeeded in the United States.” He said,“The System seems not designed for them.”

Trump vs Musk

The bone of contention between Trump and Musk is the US President's“One Big Beautiful Bill”, which became an Act after Trump signed it on July 4.

Trump called the spending and tax bill the“biggest Bill of its kind in the History of our Country.” Musk has vocally opposed it, saying it would explode the US debt.

Trump suggested that Musk may have been upset with the Bill because“it eliminates the ridiculous Electric Vehicle (EV) Mandate, which would have forced everyone to buy an Electric Car in a short period of time.”

After the Bill was passed in the House on Sunday, Musk shared a series of posts on X slamming the move.

"When it comes to bankrupting our country with waste & graft, we live in a one-party system, not a democracy," the SpaceX and Tesla boss posted on X on Sunday.

He said,“Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom.”

Elon Musk also cited a poll – uploaded on July 4, US Independence Day – in which he asked whether respondents "want independence from the two-party [some would say uniparty] system" that has dominated US politics for some two centuries.

The yes-or-no survey earned more than 1.2 million responses. "By a factor of 2 to 1, you want a new political party and you shall have it!" he posted on X, a social media platform he owns.
