The tense relationship between the Republican President Donald Trump and his main financier in the election campaign, Elon Musk, took a new conflict turn on Saturday, when the richest man announced the formation of a new political party, stating that the “great and beautiful” tax law of Trump will bankrupt the country.
One day after asking his followers on the X platform if a new political party in the US should be created, Musk wrote on the social network that he holds that “today, America Party is created to play your freedom.”
“With a report of 2 to 1, you want a new political party and you will have it!” He wrote.
Independence Day is the Perfect Time to Ask If You Want Independence from the Two-Party (Some willd Say Uniparty) System!
Should We Create The America Party?

By a factor of 2 to 1, you want a new political party and you shall have!
When it comes to bankruptting Our Country with Waste & Graft, We Live in A One-Party System, not a democracy.
Today, The America Party is Formed to Give You Back Your Freedom. https://t.co/9k8ad04qqn

Musk's announcement comes after Trump promulgated the US National Day on Friday, the law on reducing taxes and public spending, which Musk vehemently criticized.
Musk, who became the richest man in the world because of his Tesla car company and his Spacex satellite company, spent hundreds of millions for Trump's re-election and drove the Department for Government Efficiency (Doge) from the beginning of the President, in order to reduce public spending.
Since then, the two have been spectacular because of the disagreements between them on the theme of Trump's “big and beautiful” budget project.
Musk has previously said that he would set up a new political party and spend money to remove the legislators who have supported the draft law.
Earlier this week, Trump threatened to cut the billions of dollars into subsidies that Musk's companies receive from the federal government.
Republicans have expressed concern that the dispute between Musk and Trump could affect their chances of protecting their majority in the intermediate parliamentary elections in 2026.
Asked X what was the reason why he passed from his love on Trump to attack, Musk replied: “Increasing the deficit from already crazy $ 2,000 billion under Biden to $ 2,500 trillion. This will bankrupt the country.”
