Elon Musk Clashes with Trump over Budget Bill
The proposed "America Party" has raised questions about the potential for a new political force in the US, and whether Musk's efforts will be enough to challenge the existing political landscape. With the budget bill still pending, the outcome of this feud remains to be seen.
Elon Musk has issued a stern warning to members of Congress who voted for the "Big, Beautiful Bill", stating they will lose their primary elections if it passes, and threatened to form the "America Party" as an alternative to the Democrat-Republican "uniparty".
The feud between Musk and President Donald Trump escalated over 72 hours, with Musk accusing the Republican policy bill of being "debt slavery" and Trump defending his bill as a way to "slash deficits" and "unleash economic growth". Musk has been a vocal critic of Trump's policy bill, which he claims will increase the debt and damage industries of the future.
Musk has proposed starting a new political party and has vowed to support candidates who plan to launch primary campaigns against members of Congress who voted for the bill. He has also threatened to unseat lawmakers who support Donald Trump's budget bill, which he claims would increase the US deficit by $3.3tn. Musk's comments come after he contributed $277m to Trump's campaign and was a key part of his administration.
The clash between Musk and Trump has sparked a heated debate over the future of American politics, with many wondering what the implications of a new party would be. As the situation continues to unfold, one thing is certain - the feud between these two influential figures will have far-reaching consequences.
