Trump Criticizes Musk’s Planned America Party As Risking Political Chaos

President Donald Trump sharply criticized Elon Musk's announcement of the new America Party, calling the move "ridiculous" and warning that third parties historically cause disruption and chaos in the U.S. political system. Trump emphasized the longstanding dominance of the two-party system and expressed concerns that Musk's initiative would only add confusion. Despite Musk's poll showing significant public interest in breaking away from the traditional Republican and Democratic framework, the America Party's formal registration status remains unclear, and Musk is ineligible to run for president due to constitutional requirements. Trump also attacked Musk for opposing the "Big, Beautiful Bill," which removed the electric vehicle mandate, and criticized Musk's recommendation of a "blue-blooded Democrat" to lead NASA, suggesting conflicts of interest. Overall, Trump described Musk as "off the rails" and a "train wreck" amid their recent political fallout.
